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.”

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

Highly what?

Hypocrites!

If it was a clash between Fulani herdsmen and other people, if it was between Hausas and Southern Kaduna, it will trend on facebook, twitter, instagram, front pages of all major newspapers; Amnesty International will cry blue murder, etc

BUT

Once it is between Tiv and Jukun, or between Cross River and Ebonyi communities, or among several cult groups in Rivers state, etc, it will be put on an inconsequential page (page 47) in the newspapers! These platforms will go mute!

Nigerian journalists and media groups' owners are one of the most irresponsible, religious, and tribal bigots anywhere in the world!

We, students of Alex Ekwueme Federal University Ebonyi state are stranded as the routes to Abakaliki, the only neighbouring town are now the hotbed of the calamity.

We no longer sleep with our eyes closed since we heard and saw the skeleton of charred buses liter Ikwo -Funai /Abakaliki road.

God help me. 4 years in Ikwo no be beans.
If not the troubles of their indigenous commercial motorists, it's that of their boys always warming up for fight.

You keep talking successful , what success? Just making or trying to make money by any means without conscience is what you call success? Go and do public opinion in Nigeria you will realise that you people are rated very low. Alot of people see you as dubious and associated with criminality. SUCCESSFUL in culture or respect or attitude or behaviour? Look at worldwide every week you are one of the leading race with reported cases of bad things gping on either drug , scamming,yahoo yahoo, cheating etc spoiling Nigeria image. Is that what you call successful?

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.

Indeed you need help beyond that which I can offer Perhaps your self hate is terminal and your negrophobia is irredeemable.

I guess Arabs should hate themselves for the suicide bombers. White people should hate themselves for events like Christchurch or Srebrenica.

But I am ahead of myself...you may be too ignorant to understand all these.

Who said no? It's the our elites that are saying no together with your elites. Left for us you are free. And if you people are sincere or honest in your we want to leave you would have achieved it longtime ago, but as usual your looking for money by any means wont let that happen.

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

No sanctity of human life to them.....
