No fewer than five persons in Emede community, Isoko South Local Government Area of Delta State have been reportedly killed while over ten houses have been set ablaze by armed youths of Igbide community following a land dispute between the two communities.The age-long boundary dispute between the two communities had in 1986 to 1987 caused the death of over a hundred people, including houses that had been destroyed.
"At the bush, the armed Igbide youths killed one of our persons. Tuesday night, they also invaded our community where they shot sporadically, using sophisticated weapons," he said. "The Igbide armed youths attacked us unexpectedly on Wednesday morning. Their guns are too sophisticated, and we don't have weapons that can match them hence they had a field day killing our people, burning our houses and other properties and left unchallenged," the source said.
Reacting to the development, chairman of Isoko South Local Government Area, Itiako Constantine Ikpokpo, described the situation as very embarrassing, even as he blamed the crisis on the failure of leadership in both communities.
