That there was a party at Gimbia Suits where a clash brewed and someone was reported stabbed, the police responded and got to the spot of the clash and picked a couple of miscreants who were constituting nuisance.
The police later met with a road block of youths which led to a clash as the police shot in the air to send away youths, there was sporadic gun shots as the youths where alleged to be armed.
Also speaking to residents, it was gathered that the police actually came to rescue the purported fight at the party scene but the youths, alleged that the police infringed on their rights by teaming up with the vigilanty group to beat up and tried to arrest a few youths in which four youths were shot, this led to a reaction from youths.
The police DPO also confirmed there was a shoot out and some youths had gunshot wounds but insisted they were not police bullets as the injuries were from cartridges as the police do not use guns with cartridges.
