CALABAR— A misunderstanding over a portion of farmland, between the
people of Obudu in Cross River State and their Mgberedem neighbours in
Kwande Local Government Area of Benue State, has led to a communal
conflict, which has left many people dead while several others sustained
gunshot injuries.
The conflict, which has been raging since Tuesday, according to a source in
the area, Augustine Ogar, started when the Mgberedem people allegedly
destro-yed farms cultivated by the people of Obudu in the disputed land.
Ogar said: “The land in dispute is right behind the Federal College of
Education, Obudu, and we have been farming there for decades.
“Suddenly, the Mgberedem people started encroaching on the land and each
time our people use the land, the Mgberedem people would either harvest the
crops or destroy them.”
He said on Sunday, while people were in churches, the Mgberedem people
invaded the farmland and destroyed crops.
When, Monday, Obudu people went to their farms and saw the destruction,
they sent a delegation to the Mgbertedem people on Tuesday to find out who
destroyed their crops, and a fight broke out with machetes and guns freely
used.
Ogar added: “Many people in Obudu and Mgberedem have sustained gunshot
injuries, but I cannot say the number of those who might have died.”
He said policemen and soldiers have been dispatched there last night and
hopefully peace would be restored.
According to him, “all farming activities and trade between the two
communities have been put on hold.
“People are no longer going to farm and the Mgberedem people, who usually
bring items for sale in our market have stopped coming.”

After they are gone, who now owns the land?

So it's not Fulani this time around?
Over to Apostle, who should we kill now?

See what i mean ? some days or some weeks , a few ediots will upload pictures of the attack and shootings over farm land and credit it to Fulani herdsmen


Sooner cyber bill is passed, the better for everyone of us

TheSlyone2:

Fulani herdsmen will claim it as part of Buhari's plan to Islamise Nigeria.

When will good news come from this country?
