One Dead, Houses Razed As Friends Fight Over Girlfriend(pics) by Onyi42(m): 6:57pm On Jan 13, 2015
ONE person was killed, 60 houses
razed and over 400 persons rendered homeless in
a disgraceful inter-communal crisis that broke
out, weekend, between youths of Ikot Umiang and
Ikot Edah communities, Nkpat Enin Local
Government Area, Akwa Ibom State.
90-year-old woman and the remains of her house
and property;
Niger Delta Voice learned that the fracas that
caused extensive havoc to the residences of the
Village Head of Ikot Edah, Ete Idung Sunday
Usoro, and councillor representing Ikpa Ikono,
Ward 2, Mr. Nkreuwem James, was kindled by a
dispute between two boys from both communities
over a girlfriend.
Besides property running into millions of naira
and money that were looted, about 40
motorcycles, bicycles and ancestral heritages
were torched. Two cars belonging to the monarch
were also destroyed.
A dependable source told Niger Delta Voice: “A
young man, who hails from Ikot Umiang and
residing in Ikot Edah had a minor
misunderstanding with his friend, an indigene of
Ikot Edah, over a lady both of them had dated
previously.
“What really transpired between them is not clear.
But it was so serious that in the evening of the
following day, when the Ikot Umiang boy was
passing through Ikot Edah after his normal
business, the Ikot Edah-based lover boy and his
gang waylaid and stabbed him to death.”
Revenge
In an apparent reprisal attack, youths of Ikot
Umiang invaded Ikot Edah at about 8a.m with
guns, machetes, axes, fuel and other dangerous
weapons, burning all the houses in the
community.
The invaders manhandled aged people, especially
the women who tried to plead with them.
Our source said inhabitants of the community,
mainly peasant farmers and traders, were setting
out for their farms and shops on the ill-fated day,
when the invaders stormed the town.
A villager, Aniete Bradforth, said: “The Ikot
Umiang youths came in like soldier ants with
guns, petrol and matches and before we knew
what was happening, this house (pointing to a
residence) was on fire.
“They beat up a 90-year-old woman, who lives
here, leaving her with injuries all over her body.”
The village head, Usoro, said: “I watched my
house set ablaze with N2 million cash inside.”
Usoro said he was on his way to the Police
Station to lodge a report that a corpse was
abandoned in the community when armed youths
of Ikot Umiang invaded Ikot Edah.
He said the attacking youths were armed, but
that police were able to make some arrests.
A fish seller, who is in her 60s, Mmayen Bassey,
bemoaned: “I have been keeping money in my
wrapper for over 10 years to buy a piece of land.
It has amounted to over N200,000. Today, I am
as good as dead as they all got burnt; not even
to talk about my goods.”
Niger Delta Voice observed during a visit that the
houses in Ikot Edah were completely razed. There
was uneasy calm in the community as victims
wailed and called on government and public-
spirited individuals to come to their assistance.
Ikot Umiang deserted
At Ikot Umiang, it was discovered that the
community had been deserted by villagers for fear
of possible arrest by the police, while economic
activities and social life in the town have been
paralyzed.
Chairman of Mkpat Enin Local Government, Mr.
Eph-raim Akpan and Divisional Police Officer, DPO,
in-charge of the area, CSP Abri, rushed to the
community as soon as report of the incident
reached them, to ascertain the cause of the
fracas and extent of damage.
They were accompanied by Mr. James, Deputy
Leader of the council’s legislature, Ekaette Akpan,
Chief Whip, Mr.Isaac Akpan, councillors for Ibiaku,
ward 2, Mr. Ini George and ward 4, Mr. Michael
Daniel.
For over five hours, they trudged through the
ruins of the devastation with the chairman
practically weeping.
Council boss sues for peace
Mr. Akpan cautioned the warring parties to
maintain calm, while security agents carried out
investigations into the matter with a view to
bringing the guilty to book.
The council boss, who described the situation as
heart-breaking and sorrowful, however, assured
that no culprit would escape the wrath of the law.
He said: “There is no situation that would warrant
this barbaric act at the beginning of the year.
This is heart breaking and I cannot hold back
tears. But as I said, there is no point retaliating
as the police, who have done very well already,
will investigate the matter and bring all the
culprits to book.
“On our part as a government, the council will
ameliorate the situation and as a matter of fact,
12 hours from now, we will assemble all villagers
of this community and give them some relief
materials.
“It is pathetic that the only property of these
people now have are the clothes on their body,
but we will do our best.”
He said a committee would be set up to evaluate
the mayhem and come up with intermediary
measures to cushion the sufferings of the
affected persons.
Over 25 suspects nabbed
A police officer said police were making plans to
evacuate the remains of the Ikot Umiang youth
that was killed in Ikot Edah, adding that about 25
persons have been arrested in connection with the
crisis.
He disclosed that the arrested suspects were
handed over to men of the Criminal Investigation
Department, CID, Uyo.

Those Ikot Edah guys had criminal tendencies before and the dispute over the girl was just an opportunity for them to express their murderous whims and fantasies. If someone doesn't have criminal tendency before, he won't be able to go through with the grievous crime of taking the life of a fellow human being. Even if the dispute did not come up, they would have still killed someone later.
