A bishop whose name is yet to be ascertained has been burnt alive, and his son beheaded in a renewed communal war between the people of Abanwan and Urugbam in Erei clan, Biase Local Government Area of Cross River State.


GRASSROOT REPORTERS gathered that the Bishop was ambushed alongside his son on a motorbike on their way from Abanwan community to nearby Afikpo in Ebonyi State.


Sources told GRASSROOT REPORTERS that no fewer than six houses and their occupants were set ablaze as the attackers mobilized and invaded Abanwan community.


The Erei communities have over the years, been at loggerheads over a piece of land that was established by defunct Eastern Region before the the Nigerian Civil War as Oil Palm Plantation Settlement.


The settlement was handed over to the Cross River State government shortly after the Nigerian civil war of 1967-1970 given that the location was in the state. However, the Erei community where the oil palm plantation was located has 10 villages.


Meanwhile, troops from the 13 Brigade of Nigerian Army have moved into Abanwan and Urugbam communities to restore order.


The information officer at 13 Brigade Nigerian Army Calabar, Captain Aluko, confirmed that they have moved men and materials into the communities yesterday.

How can a country with so much babarians grow successfully? The blood that is crying against this nation eh, even corruption dey learn!!!

Communal war for land dispute.. Land wey all of us go die leave one day and be buried underneath.

Na inherited malice be dis

Over a piece of land that they will all die and leave behind.

May God have mercy

That is too bad killed a bishop and his son,they placed curse on the land unknowingly

it is the land that owns man,not the other way round. we all came from sand and that's where we will return when we die.
the west is busy advancing technologically and my people are dragging land.
I will ask God why I was born a Nigerian when I meet him.

Nobody is untouchable anymore

Anybody dey collect dis days

Imagine!!!

they've resumed this their community clash nonsense.

A few moments from now some will come and make it about another tribe, as per their usual defense tactic.

Haaaaa. Truly end time has come, no fear for human life again

I sometimes wonder what these people gain being a cultist! Anyways, everybody will still do what they like.

Archaic mentality that has now consumed innocent souls.

give me the hallaa!

Nawa oh

Omo


We're supposed to be controlling material things, but they are controlling us now.
Money was meant to be used, but it is using us now

We need thorough orientation in this corn tree

We kill and hate ourselves with passion, yet we scream racism when white man even hiss at us.

We really need 2023 to come quick cos this regime has been full of unimaginable violence and bloodshed.

Crazy things are happening

A country gone to the dogs

this is a northern problem.

mayb northern Igbo herdsmen and bokoharam




MAY GOD HAVE MERCY ON NIGERIA AMD NIGERIANS.

The way people are being assassinated by the slight of provocation is becoming alarming in the country.

The traditional rulers of the two communities should be arrested and jailed while investigation is going on. Such barbaric killings everyday.

May God grant his soul eternal rest.... No justice for the dead in my kwantiri

Lazy government!!!
This is a very easy issue to solve.
The government should take over the land.
Build a school or hospital there.
Or share the land equal to the communities and put a boundary.
Shikina! Case solved.
Or the governor is enjoying the blood shared?
