Sergeant Charles Biweribo was wounded after alleged Fulani herdsmen reportedly trespassed into the 5-star hotel where he and his colleagues were stationed.
According to reports, the police officer was on his duty post about 5am on Tuesday when he noticed the herdsmen trespassing into the 5-Star Hotel with their cows.
Reports have it that Biweribo got into a serious altercation with the herdsmen after failing to compel them to move their cows.
While the altercation was ongoing, one of the herdsmen dived the sergeant and started dragging the rifle in his possession.
At that moment other police officers got wind of what was happening and came to the rescue of their colleague. However, he had already gotten a stab before the rescue.
One of the herdsmen was reportedly arrested in the process.
The incident reportedly happened at a 5-star hotel, close to the flyover at Azikoro Road axis of Yenagoa, Bayelsa state.
