Top echelons of the Nigeria Police and Navy Wednesday met to resolve the conflict occasioned by the clash between some junior officers of the lower cadre in both forces.

This peace talks follow a recent confrontation involving Naval ratings and policemen of the Special Taskforce, in Apapa area of Lagos.

Flag Officer Commanding Western Naval Command of the Nigerian Navy, Apapa, Lagos, Rear Admiral Ibok Ibass, while speaking called on the need to organise a forum where men of the lower cadre in both forces, would be educated that both services were fighting a common goal.

He said this when he paid a courtesy visit to the Assistant Inspector General of Police in-charge of Zone 2,Onikan, Mr. Mamman Tsafe.

According to Ibass: “I believe we can get the men to know that we are all fighting a common cause is by interaction, a forum whereby they meet and understand our common goal on security.”

Swansea_Chelsea_CCSwansea will now face Bradford City in the Capital One Cup final, after they drew 0-0 with Chelsea at the Liberty Stadium on Wednesday night. The Welsh side had won 2-0 at Stamford Bridge and Rafa Benitez’s men needed to score twice to stand a chance.

It is their first major cup final in their 100-year history and they will now be slight favourites to lift the trophy at Wembley next month.

However, the talking point of a rather dull game, was Eden Hazard kicking out at a ball boy, ten minutes from time. He was immediately sent off by Chris Foy and is likely to face further sanctions from the FA.
