Reports yesterday
revealed that no fewer than four persons were killed and property worth
millions of naira destroyed in a renewed exchange of hostilities between the
Igbeagu community in Izzi local government area of Ebonyi State and Ukelle
community in Yala local government area of Cross River State.
Owojela's Blog learnt that several farm crops and animals were destroyed, as
residents fled to safety in the clash that arose over boundary.
Clashes between
the two communities and others along the boundaries of Ebonyi and Cross River
States had been on for some time now.
Governments
of the two states had raised several joint committees, with intervention from
soldiers towards finding a lasting solution to the matter, but to no avail.
