A resident of Amata, who requested non attribution, said the incident happened on Saturday, May 29 at the disputed farmland. He decried the surprise attack “on the defenceless, unarmed and elderly farmers who were in their farms for the wet season farming activities by the suspected hoodlums.” She said both Ebonyi and and Abia State police commands were working to ensure return of full normalcy in the affected area.“Our men are in control of the situation,” she added. “They arrived the scene of crisis and rescued those abducted from the two sides and also aborted a bloodbath; though two persons were confirmed injured from gun shots.”
Land that was created by God and given for free! May God heal our land as it baffle one to read fighting and killings over boundary, ownership and sales of land.
