ABAKALIKI—ONE Eze Stephen of Ojiogu village, Ukwuagba- Ngbo community in Ohaukwu Local Government Area of Ebonyi State was weekend reportedly beheaded over the lingering war between the community and their counterpart of Agila in Ado Local Government Area of Benue State.
Nwede Augustine was also kidnapped when unknown gunmen invaded the Ngbo community, allegedly from Agila community in Benue State.
About five others were reportedly injured during the invasion which occurred in the night.
The two neighbouring communities have been at war for decades over boundary issues with many lives lost and properties worth millions of naira destroyed.
Confirming the incident, Police spokesperson for Ebonyi State Police Command, ASP George Okafor said the command received a report from the Coordinator of the Development Centre, Donatus Agbo on the attack.
He said the matter was still under investigation.
His words: “It is an inter-state crisis and from the information available to us, this crisis has lasted for so many years.
“So once in a while, it comes up. We have visited the scene, recovered some of the AK 47 empty shell bullets used by the Agila people when they invaded the whole village.
“They really caused serious damage to that village but we are on the matter and we will do all the needful to get the matter strengthened out.”
Okafor disclosed that security personnel had been deployed to the area to ensure adequate protection of lives and properties and to cause the immediate release of the kidnapped victim in the area.

According to the article, they share same border which means they are likely to have a lot in similar but diff state name. So the case is likely to be a personal issues and not a thing that warrant tribal bruhaha. They r one but in diff states.

Kogi has boundaries with Anambra and Benue likewise Benue and Ebonyi. What does Benue share with Fulani herdsmen that made you liken both scenarios?
Reading the reaction of our youths these days to very sensitive issues has continued to send shivers down my spine. I really wonder what the future holds for the One Nigeria we have been so jealously protecting.

only in naija

Some people out of Gods mercy and wisdom are born into a particular tribe and then grew up with the mentality given to them by their parents that their tribe are the best and others are rubbish.my tribe is not better than anyother tribe and i will never be part of those criticizing a whole tribe cos of the silly mistake of one person.let's avoid unneccessary fights one love...proudly igbo

Seems like imo and abia are the only southeast states thatbdont share boundaries with these wicked humans. Something needs to be done about these annoying attacks
