Residents injured as communal clash rocks Abuja
A communal clash broke out in the 3rd Avenue area of Gwarinpa in the city centre of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, on Monday.
Videos making the rounds on social media showed that several persons have been injured.
Punch gathered that the clash is reportedly between some Gbagyi and Hausa tricyclists.
“The fighting is between Gbagyi and Hausa Keke Napep riders,” a resident said via a telephone conversation.
“It’s happening on 3rd Avenue where I live, and we can’t go out. Several persons have been injured,” another resident noted.
However, the actual cause of the clash cannot be confirmed as of press time because the police could not be reached for comments or reactions and the Police Public Relations Officer, SP Josephine Adeh, did not respond to phone calls and text messages from journalists.
