No fewer than four persons were killed in a renewed communal clash between the people of Nko in Yakurr Local Government Area and Onyadama in Obubra Local Government Area of Cross River State.

A source told GRASSROOT REPORTERS that the latest crisis erupted when information filtered in that those arrested during the last crisis had been released by the Nigerian Army.

GRASSROOT REPORTERS gathered that the latest communal war started on Friday and continued till Sunday morning, with losses from both sides.

Some residents of Nko community who spoke with GRASSROOT REPORTERS from where they took cover, said men of the Nigerian Army invaded the community and rained bullets on the community.

"As I'm speaking with, shooting is still going on. The community is almost deserted as women and children are hiding in the bush."


Efforts by GRASSROOT REPORTERS to speak with SP Irene Ugbo, the Cross River State Police Public Relations Officer, proved abortive as calls to her line were not answered.

Also, a text message sent to her number was not replied to as of the time of this report.
