A communal clash broke out in the 3rd Avenue area of Gwarinpa, within the city centre of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, in the early hours of Monday.
Several persons were claimed to have been injured.
Punch reports that the clash is between some Gbagyi and Hausa tricyclists, adding the cause of the clash could not be independently confirmed as of press time.
“The fighting is between Gbagyi and Hausa Kek. It’s happening on 3rd Avenue where I live, and we can’t go out. Several persons have been injured.” a resident said.
Meanwhile, the police could not be reached for comments or reactions as the Police Public Relations Officer, SP Josephine Adeh, did not respond to phone calls and text messages.
