Sources said members of Afono and Ibini communities in the Biase Local Government Area of the state clashed over a road both communities had used for many years.
A resident of Ibini, Martins Ogba, alleged that fighting started when youths from Afono blocked the road and three youths from Ibini dismantled the blockade. “As I am talking to you now, the Ibini youths have razed down Afono and there is no single soul there now. Even youths from Orugbam who went to support them have fled,” Ogba said.
“The problem between us and Ibini is that since Orugbam were displaced from their ancestral home, Ibini people have been looking for our trouble. Our youths only went to block the road to avoid their problem. But because Ibini are in support of Orugbam, they felt threatened and attacked us. Now, they have succeeded in killing not less than 10 people and burnt down our village,” he said.
