Mr. Dunama alleged that the marshals were attacked by the police while 
performing their duties and later eight vehicles filled with policemen 
went to his office at the Ministry of Youth and Poverty Alleviation and 
ransacked it while every marshal they saw there was beaten and 19 
wounded marshals were arrested and taken to the police station.</div>

Commissioner of Police, Kudu Nma, the marshals were released on bail.</div>

The Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) of the Gombe State Police 
Command, Fwaje Atajiri, said that two policemen from the Gombe Police 
Division were sent to invite some persons suspected of committing 
assault, when the policemen tried to invite one of the suspects, he 
refused and an argument ensued between the suspect and the policemen and
 it was later discovered that the suspect was a marshal but that he was 
not in uniform.</div>

Mr. Atajiri said that the clash could not have occurred if the police had known that the suspect was a marshal.</div>
