A violent clash erupted among Fulani youths in Katampe, Abuja, during Eid-el-Fitr celebrations, reportedly over a dispute involving a girlfriend.
Counter-insurgency expert Zagazola Makama revealed on X that the fight, which broke out around 7:30 p.m., saw dangerous weapons used freely, leading to a public disturbance. Police swiftly intervened, but the youths fled into a nearby bush.
Two injured victims, Isiaka Abubakar and Isiaka Mohammed, were rushed to Jareal Hospital in Mpape. Reports suggest such altercations frequently occur during major celebrations in the area.
Community leaders, including the Sarkin Fulani and Ardo, have been summoned for a stakeholder meeting to address the recurring issue.
