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 Nigerian News Reporters
: “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.
