There was tension in Abuja on Tuesday as two factions of the National Association of Nigerian Students clashed in the Federal Capital Territory Abuja.
It was gathered that machetes were used freely even as one of the leaders of one of the factions was left in the pool of his blood after series of cuts on his body.
NPO Reports could ascertain the real cause of the mayhem on Tuesday. It was however gathered that the attacks was part of the manifestation of the fictionalization of the students body after the last election.
The Police Command in the FCT, in a statement on Tuesday said it was aware of the attacks but pleaded with residents to stay calm and watch events.
The command said it would update resident on its findings over the attacks.
SP Josephine Adeh spokeswoman for the command said, “The FCT police command is aware of the news making rounds about the recent attacks and counterattacks launched by the factional NANS leaders against one another in the Federal Capital Territory and therefore wishes to state that the police command has commenced an investigation into the matter and is ensuring no disruption of peace being enjoyed by residents is allowed.
Further development would be communicated.”
