He admitted his involvement in the said clash where he was captured in a video footage wielding a machete during interrogation.
A search conducted on him led to the retrieval of a wrapped substance suspected to be Indian hemp.
The suspect is currently in Police custody assisting with investigations.
Meanwhile, efforts are being made to arrest all other persons involved in the violent incident.
On Tuesday, January 18, a misunderstanding between two rival groups led to a violent clash which left scores of persons injured.
