He explained: “The plain clothes policemen did not display professionalism. I don't know why they were arresting the policemen at the check point, but the way they went about is was too bad.

“A policeman refused to let go of his rifle and he almost fired some shots. “The plainclothes officers endangered the lives of these policeman and that of members of the public. They also disgraced the force.”

A Police source with information on the problem said  the plain clothes officers choose to go to arrest the uniformed officers who have been caught collecting bribes by undercover officers
