A resident who identified himself simply as Alhaji told Saturday Tribune that the clash was a superiority battle between the groups.
Alhaji claimed that the hoodlums had belonged in the same group before some of them revolted against their leader who is a top member of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW).
He said: “They all used to be in the same group under the leadership of the chairman of the NURTW in the area but some of them broke away from the group. jamb results
“Thursday’s clash may not be unconnected with the next general elections as those boys now want to be reckoned with and they don’t trust their leaders again.
“Since Thursday, they have been shooting and attacking one another with dangerous weapons and charms.”
