According to tweets by the Rapid Response Squad, the impasse was between youths of both tribes.
As at the time of filing this report, it was not clear what caused the disagreement between both tribes believed to always be in support of each other.
Calm has since been restored to the area as the security operatives have reacted swiftly to the distress call.
Recently, a report by New Telegraph indicated that Fulani herdsmen invaded the national stadium in Abuja to feed their cattle.
According to the report, sometimes the herdsmen overwhelm the stadium security officials who try to stop them from their activities, especially at the Package B section of the stadium.
“It has been a routine for these herdsmen to herd their cows to this place for grazing, especially in the last one year. They invade the stadium at will and it seems nobody is ready to stop or caution them,” a security official attached to the stadium said while confirming the report.
On his part, the stadium manager, Sati Mbok, said the management has been making frantic efforts to stop the herdsmen, but they have rather continued to increase in their numbers.
