Two Killed, Five Abducted In Ebonyi, Cross River Boundary Dispute by Ctorch: 3:36pm On Jul 02, 2020
Two persons have been killed and five others abducted in Ekoli Edda in Afikpo South local government area of Ebonyi State

The police said the victims were attacked by gunmen from the neighbouring Biase local government area of Cross River State.

The two communities have a dispute over a palm plantation on their boundary.

Police spokesperson in Ebonyi State, Loveth Odah, in a statement said the two dead victims were a couple.

She gave their names as Ndukwe Okoroafor, aged 55, and his wife, Paulina Ndukwe, 49.

“On June 30 at about 4 p.m, the DPO Afikpo South received a distress call that gunmen from Biase LGA of Cross River State attacked some persons at Erei Palm Plantation located at the boundary between Ekoli Edda in Afikpo South L.G.A of Ebonyi State and Biase LGA of Cross River State.

“Following the report, the DPO quickly contacted the youth leader of Ekoli Edda who also informed him that an eyewitness to the alleged attack, one Kalu Ndukwe, narrowly escaped with bullet wounds but saw his father, one Ndukwe Okoroafor ‘m’ aged about 55yrs, and his mother, one Paulina Ndukwe ‘f’ aged about 49yrs, being slaughtered by the attackers.”


The police spokesperson said the gunmen also abducted five others, namely Esther Ikwo, Elizabeth Ikwo, Chinechere Nnachi, Ogbonna Aku and Sunday Ogbuu Ama.

The victims, according to Mrs Odah, were taken to an unknown destination together with the corpse of the Ndukwe couple.


Mrs Odah said the commissioner of Police, Philip Maku, condemned the attack as hideous and barbaric.

She said the commissioner dispatched a team of police officers and soldiers to the area with a view to rescuing the abducted persons and arresting the assailants.

“Furthermore, the CP has enjoined residents of the area, especially the youths, to maintain peace, avoid taking law into their hands or acting in ways that could jeopardize investigation into the matter.

“Meanwhile, preliminary investigation revealed that the attack is as result of resurgence of the longstanding communal feud between the people of Ekoli Edda in Afikpo South L.G.A of Ebonyi State and Biase L.G.A of Cross River State over the Palm Plantation.

“To this end, the good people of Ebonyi State have been enjoined to remain law abiding and assist the Police with credible information that will lead to the arrest of the culprits”, she added

The land in question belongs to Ebonyi state, If I am not mistaken...


Why dragging their land and killing them on top of it..


Cross riveriens should respect themselves.

But the truth of the matter is that Agbala aka na-azo ana, onye ji JI ga-na akonye JI na ana......Onu ya ekwu Okwu ma onye agwaru, onuru..


Ebonyi should swiftly do something about this .....O biara onye onugho owuru Ujo...

I'm form this Community Ekoli
The Plantation is owned by Ekoli while a small portion belongs to Biase LGA.
The Incident Started in 2018 when the one Community Ebong Sold the whole of the plantation to one Anambara Business Man
So to prevent us from coming there, that's why the are doing this diabolic act
The First Killing was on 12 June 2018 when one man nicknamed (D.C)was killed.
The Second Killing was on 4th December 2018 when one man named Olughu (AKA Dogo)was killed and his Corpse have not been seen till date! Although the ugly incident made Front page here on NL.

Then on Tuesday The Couple were killed while the Labourers were abducted and taken to UNKNOWN place.... Then a Son to the couple narrowly escaped with Gun wound at his nose
The Corpse of the Wife has not been seen since on Tuesday, While that of the Husband was seen although the prick,Liver,Head,Hands And Legs were cut off

They're killing and abducting your people and this is all you could write? But what about IPOB's Biafra military? Lol. Chest-beating cowards!

Boundary crises is a common phenomena across Nigeria. Similar incident happened in Abia/Akwa Ibom boundary and some Akwa Ibom people got killed and they were lamenting.

The onus is on the boundary commission to demarcate the boundaries accordingly. Tomorrow you will hear that the same community that is victim today has retaliated and the circle continues.

Life has become so cheap in Nigeria due to criminal government neglect.

So if you are from the Ekoli community and the plantation in dispute is largely owned by your community.... why then are your people at the receiving end of the attacks from the Cross river community? don't you have vigilante networks or youths that can defend these plantations and ward off miscreants from abducting and killing people? coming on nairaland to wail won't solve anything, arm yourselves and retaliate!

Igbos and crisis.

Today it's cross river, tomorrow, Akwa ibom..Hausas and so on.

If you asked them why they're always fighting other ethnic groups, they'll say "Fear of Igbo domination"....hahaha

Imagine a region with a very low GDP, high poverty index, inability to attract foreigners e.t.c saying other ethnic groups are jealous and afraid of getting dominated by Igbos.... hahahaha.
