One dead, several injured as Hausa clash with Gbagyi youths near Abuja

A violent clash that erupted between the Hausa youths and Gbagyi youths living in Bwari community of Abuja area has left one dead and several injured.

The fight allegedly started after the turbaning of a new Hausa traditional ruler known as "Sarkin Bwari" who is of a different lineage from the Gbagyi people that are traditionally known to have the title of "Esu of Bwari", Sahara Reporters reports.
