The Acting Commissioner of Police in the Federal Capital Territory FCT, Mr Ahmed Musa has met with leaders of Hausa and Gbagyi communities in Gwarinpa following a recent clash in the area.
A statement by SP Josephine Adeh, the Police Public Relations Officer in the FCT yesterday in Abuja, said that one person died in the clash and another was hospitalised.
She noted that the meeting was necessary due to the tension generated along 3rd Avenue at the Gwarinpa axis because of the altercation between some Hausa and Gbagyi youths last Saturday.
The command spokesperson said a suspect had been arrested and currently assisting the Police to ascertain the immediate and remote causes of the fracas.
She enthused that the acting CP urged the traditional rulers to encourage the youths to imbibe peace and pursue grievances through legally approved channels rather than taking laws into their hands.
According to her, the command has intensified surveillance patrols in the areas to forestall an escalation of the clash.
