At least six five persons were killed over the weekend when inter-boundary clashes between Isu community in Arochukwu Local Government area of Abia State and Ukwa Mbiabong Ukwa Eburutu community of Odukpani LGA, Cross River State, resurfaced.

The cause of the latest bloodletting has not been disclosed as of Monday morning when a confirmation of the casualties was made.

There have always been intermittent boundary clashes between these neighbouring communities, leaving scores of deaths in the last 10 years.

In the last six months, this would be the second time that the Ukwa community has been invaded, according to natives.

In May 2024, many Ukwa Mbiabong Ukwa natives were reportedly killed over ownership of sites where precious stones are reportedly found.

Sources in Mbiabong Ukwa, who confirmed the killings between Saturday and Sunday, alleged that suspected warlords from Isu community Arochukwu LGA first launched the attack on Saturday morning.

According to a youth leader, Willy Esara, β€œThe invaders swooped on us on Saturday, killed our two men and critically injured ten others.”
Another source reported that the suspected warlords laid ambush on the villagers who were on their way to the farms
.

β€œThe attackers opened fire on the unsuspecting villagers, killing two men, Abi Effiong Oku and Inyang Nya Ewa, injuring many others. One of the deceased was beheaded,” he alleged.

The latest attack has left the community in a state of shock and fear, according to fleeing residents.
Police PRO, Irene Ugbo said they were yet to be briefed on the latest clash but that they will launch an investigation.

Calls to the state security adviser, Major General Obono Ubi, (retired), were not responded to.

Arochukwu belong to IbibioπŸ™„πŸ™„


Do you see how stupid it sounds, why not mention the town's Ibibio name if it truly Ibibio land.




In the bide to propagate lies against Igbo and Biafra to make others hate them, you end up showing the world your foo08lishnesss.




You care about what minority will get in Biafra,but don't care about what they get or will get in your Nigeria.

Goodluck Jonathan a minority that managed to enter the president position,we all saw how you yorubas and Northerners treated him and his government until you chased him out.



I just dey imagine Nigeria without Igbos what Yorubas and Northerners will do to minority.πŸ€”πŸ€”
Land grabbers, even Google search will cure your ignorance. Even the Ibini Ukpabi, the oracle of the Arochukwu belongs to the Ibibio till date. Son, know your history.

They want to grab land again.

Cross river people should teach them a bitter lesson.

I don’t know if they are cursed to always grab land

Do you know that these people took almost all phortcourt land before civil War. Assuming federal government didn't assist Ikwere to get their land back, they could have become alien in phortcourt by now.

Oga igbo no add anything to Nigeria, all igboland no reach niger state. Abeg rest since, una they kill una self they do sit at home, who it affect, na still una. Why all tribes they always fight una?make una ask una self, una close neighbor ss people despise una like shit. You people need to sit down and ask, why don't we have allies? And without allies you can never achieve biafra.

You know History!!!
But God Almighty Compensated you by pushing you into Resource Rich area and gave you more Sea Coast
Same happened in Yorubaland when Fulani unjustly attacked it Yoruba that were plenty around Kwara were forced to migrate southwards .towards richer Areas of Yorubaland and Sea Coast in Greater Numbers
That was when Abeokuta and Ibadan became major Yoruba Town's and the Population of Lagos really increased
God knows how to use enemies to bless you
