The exact cause or causes of the altercation is yet to be ascertained as residents of the area out of fear for their safety have stayed off that axis of Gwarimpa while many remained indoors to avoid being caught in the melee

Sources later disclosed that personnel of the FCT Police Command have been deployed to the scene to restore normalcy between the Gbagyi and Hausa Okada/Keke Napep operators.
