Again, Rivers, Ebonyi Community Clashes Claim 20 Persons by akelicious(m): 5:38am On Apr 09, 2019
No fewer than 12 persons have been killed in renewed gang clash in Rumuche and Rumuohia communities, as well as Kaani Babbe Community in Emohua and Khana local government areas of Rivers State.This is coming a few hours after rival gang war claimed eight persons in Mgbuodohia Community, Rumuolumeni in Obio/Akpor Local Government Area on Sunday.

The Guardian learnt that of the 12 victims, five persons were killed in Rumuohia Community of Emohua council, while seven others were shot dead in Kaani. The developments have sent panic among residents of the areas, as they have been wondering the role of security agencies, state government and community elders, as the mayhem continues.

A community source in Emohua, Solomon Erim, who confirmed the incident, said trouble started when a rival cultist who had gone for a burial ceremony in the area was killed, adding that the killers were on reprisal.It was gathered that a 64-year old man was among those who were killed during the clash.

A community source told journalists that Foundation Onuekwa, Bright Oteh, Junior Kayi and two others were victims at Emohua, adding that three others who sustained bullet injuries have been hospitalised.In Khana, unknown gunmen numbering 12 in black attires and masks invaded the community and shot sporadically killing the victims who were suspected cultists.

The victims were identified as Mgbibari Nyornyaa, Sorlesi Youngman, Dornu Aanu, Bariagra Menebe, Lekia Eleaee, Boy-Mgbibari and Sira Mgbibari.The state Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Nnamdi Omoni, confirmed the killings in Khana, but stated that he could not verify the Emohua incident, as the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) in the area claimed there were no such killings.

Meanwhile, a clash between Alike Community in Ikwo Local Government Area and Enyigba Community in Abakaliki Local Government Area of Ebonyi State has left eight persons dead.It was learnt that that six of the victims were burnt to death, while the other two including the wife of a police officer whose husband was deployed to Bornu was going to the market when the incident occurred.

However, five of those who were burnt to death were members of the same family who had gone to one of their son’s matriculation ceremony at Ebonyi State University in company of their neighbours but meet their death on their way back home.

Confirming the incident, the state’s PPRO, ASP Loveth Odah said the victims died “in a long standing dispute between Ndiagu Alike Ikwo and Enyibichiri Community in Abakaliki that erupted the other day.”

The Black man is the most crudest and wicked race of all the human races. He maim,decapitate, cannibalize, ritualize, animalize his kind even in this 21st century that such things have seized to exist among humans over thousands of years.
He kills his own kind at will and see nothing wrong in such. No wonder jungle justice, ritual killings for money making has never stopped amongst blacks.

Yes, people can group to advance their common interest like Mafia or cult like but it should be with modernity and not hacking fellow humans like animals.

Can't people in Ebonyi live in peace with their neighbors? must it be tribal and inter tribal war all the time because of a piece of farmland.

Tufiakwa!

If there is anything like next world, I would rather choose to come from other race rather than being black or I kukuma remain in Hades if chance no dey for other race.

Nairaland is becoming very annoying by the day. I feel the person behind this write up is being tribalistic. It’s uncalled for. Where is the clash between Rivers and Ebonyi here. Are they neighbouring states. Cultism is something that happens in almost al the states. Fake people with fake news

You made a very reasonable point, just that talking about failure, that's very far from the Igbo race. They are unarguably the most successful tribe in Nigeria. Highly enterprising set of people.
