One person was killed in the fight in Gwarimpa.

One person has been confirmed dead in a battle that broke out in the Gwarimpa neighborhood, according to the police in Abuja, the nation's capital.

According to SP Josephine Ade, a spokesman for the Abuja police, the violence started between two tribes that reside in the Gwarimpa village neighborhood.

According to sources, the rioting began on Saturday after the Gbagyi tribe attempted to expel some people they believed to be drug dealers from the region.

According to the police, the victim, a 20-year-old guy, passed away on Sunday from his wounds.

Even though they tried, according to Josephine, they were able to contain the situation. They claimed that the violence erupted once more on Monday morning after the Hausas learned of the death of their brother who had been transported to the hospital owing to his injuries.

She asserted that it is untrue that Fulani herders assaulted Abuja's Gwarimpa neighborhood.

A police spokeswoman disputed reports in several media sites that three persons had died as a result of interethnic violence.
