Igboid:NewsWatch, Volume 31 No 25, June 26, 2000 Torn Apart by Decree Decree 23 of 1985 promulgated by former President Ibrahim Babangida to adjust the boundary between former Cross River and Imo States said to be the cause of incessant communal clashes in Akwa Ibom and Abia State. By Obong Akpaekong Decree number 23 of 1983, which adjusted the boundary between former Cross River and Imo States, may have complicated border problems in Akwa Ibom and Abia States carved out of the two states. The decree divided many border villages into two, with one section in Abia and the other in Akwa Ibom. This also affected the communities' shrines, barns and totems In Ika local government area of Akwa Ibom State, communities affected by such arrangement include Ikot Udo Ika, Urua Inyang, Ikot Inwang, Effen Okoro, Immaman, Ikot Ekong, Ikot Akpan Anwa, Ikot Ikara and Ikot Uko. Abiaka, in Ibeme community, Azumini and Iwukem are also well known examples of such communities in Ukwa East Local Government Area, Abia State. The decree compounded the problem of Ikot Udo Ika more than it did in other villages. Ikot Udo, a once closely knit family with about 3,000 inhabitants, was split into two groups. One of the groups is claiming that its people are indigenous Akwa Ibomites while the other, a smaller number, insists that they are Igbo. Although all the people spoke the local Annang dialect of Akwa Ibom, those who preferred to belong to Abia adopted "Akirika Obu" as their village name. But there is no boundary between the two groups. With time, some of those claiming Igbo nationality changed their names to suit their new posture. They were said to have preferred being Igbo in protest of years of neglect by the then Cross River State administration. The decree which former president Ibrahim Babangida promulgated in November 1985 excised the pro-Igbo side, said to be a third of the entire village into Imo State, while the rest was to be administrated by Cross River State. When new local government areas were created by General Abacha, the Annang went to Ika local government of Akwa Ibom while the pro-Igbo group (Akirika Obu) went to Ukwa east local government area. The promulgation of the decree said to have been influenced by Paul Omu and Ndubuisi Kanu, former governors of Cross River and Imo States, predictably, worsened the rift between the two brethren. There have been one class after another between the people since then. The most destructive of the clashes between them occurred on February 7, 2000. Over 50 houses were torched. The houses which included storey buildings, were infact the best in the locality and belonged to prominent persons in the community. One of the houses belonged to E.E. Ekpenyong, former secretary to Cross River State government. Other include those of Marm Ichara, a professor of petrochemical engineering and a former Shell official, Sunday E. Akpan, general manager in charge of audit in Nigeria Social Insurance Trust Fund, Abuja, Young Ekpenyong, an avionics engineer with Nigeria Airways and Samuel Adam, a retired teacher. The houses of Godwin Nwagbose Nwulu and Michael Thompson Nwambaha said to be leader of the pro-Igbo were also burnt. The incident was triggered off by pro-Igbo youths who a caterpillar grader operator working on one of the roads in the village. He was sent to do the job by Francis Udoikpong, chairman of Ika local government area. Witnesses said when some youths on the Akwa Ibom side saw the grader operator attacked, they went to help him out but were equally attacked. This led to serious fighting and rioting which climaxed in sporadic gun fire. The mobile policemen from Azumini, Abia State, moved in to contain the situation but they were accused of taking sides with the pro-Igbo elements. Chrysantus Efep, vice-chairman of Ika council area, said police in Azumini were used to intimidating, harassing and arresting the Annang in Ikot Udo in favour of the pro-Igbo group.
