A traffic police officer, Abdulkadir Yakub, has been stabbed by some new soldiers in Ado-Ekiti.
Six other persons were also said to have sustained varying degrees of injuries in the Thursday attack.
The soldiers numbering about 17 reportedly stabbed Yakub, a police corporal, after he cautioned them for causing traffic jam while extorting motorists in the city, The Nation reported.
Yakub is said to be on danger list in a private clinic in the state capital.
According to the report, the soldiers who had just passed their recruitment training went to visit Ekiti State Governor, Ayo Fayose, who was said to be away.
They then went on rampage, attacking some policemen on duty.
Yakub was reportedly stabbed with a jack-knife by the soldiers.
The six other injured persons have since been discharged.
