One hundred and fifty people have been confirmed dead after a three-day war between two communities in Cross River over land.

The Director-General of the Cross River State Emergency Management Agency (CR-SEMA), John Inaku, confirmed the development in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria in Calabar on Tuesday.

“Between June 27 and 29 the people of Wanikade and Wanihem communities both in Yala Local Government Area of the state were involved in a communal war.
“As a result of the bloody war, 14,000 people have been displaced, 1,233 houses were destroyed, while over 150 persons have lost their lives.
“Victims of the affected communities are now internally displaced and camping in over four camps in Benue State.’’

According to him, over 4,000 victims, who fled as a result of the deadly encounter are now taking refuge in Oju Local Government Area of Benue.
He said that the conflict had crippled farming and other socio-economic activities in the area.
Mr. Inaku said, however, that Governor Ben Ayade had provided food and non-food items to the displaced people.


“CR-SEMA in collaboration with the state’s Food Bank Commission has distributed bags of rice, beans, groundnut and palm oil, beverages, cooking utensils, cartons of Indomie, mosquito net, among others to the victims.”
Mr. Inaku thanked the Benue government for its show of love in caring for the people, who fled to Benue for safety.

The director-general appealed to the National Emergency Management Agency and the National Refugee Commission to act proactively with a view to providing succour to the displaced people.
Mr. Inaku, who condemned the conflict, appealed to youths in both communities to lay down their arms and embrace peace.

The Public Relations Officer of the Cross River State Police Command, Irene Ugbo, also confirmed the development.
She said that additional security operatives had been deployed to the warring communities to restore peace.

The sophisticated criminals must always be involved

That's the way to go. Big Ups Catalonians

Akinaukwa:

You seems not to have observed that he was fired from the back. From the lying position try and observe the blood on the ground. Until you get him lifted up then you can confirm it. Meanwhile, the gallant officer is a Mobile Policeman not a soldier as wrongly stated. Soldiers don't wear black on top of green khaki.

don't mind him

Alexkene:
How come the armed robbers pure white shirt did not stain? And the police is stained from head to toe?? Hmm. Kontinue

check the picture well before talking nonsense

EmekaBlue:
but no go fight where others to help dey o

forget o. I have fought many of them physically. Even the commissioned officers. Nothing happened. Not asking anyone to try it o

EmekaBlue:
Thank-you...Come see how they see dem like semi gods in the south waaste...Makes dem bully people here anyhow,even take their girlfriends
#Ikorodu

that's a big shame. It's just so laughable. U don't have to fear the army, they are part of u. No human being is born an army man. We are all born civilians. It's when we grow and start looking for work that some people join the army. As a simple work like others that become teachers, engineers, doctors etc. It's just a simple work.
It's from our taxes that they are maintained and paid.
So why for God's sake should you fear them? They breathe the same air as you.

Nonsense. This useless results wount stand d test of time

EmekaBlue:
shut up..it's people like u that makes them feel super...if guys sef handle one Soja can he fight dem all off Uniform power and their esprit de corp help that's all in most cases

nnaa, na afonja naa with their fear fear.
Soldiers that I have singlehandedly handled and they had to beg

googlepikins:
If those animals handle you, I don't think you will still have the mind to come here to rant.

boy, I have handled a lot of them

Op, u are d reason why we say afonja is a pure coward. I have confronted uniformed men a lot of times - police and army especially. And come out unscathed. They even come and later and ask me for my mobile number. Been friends with many of them after the confrontations.
When u come to Abuja, quote me

Who cares? Mods were called before and during the match to put it on frontpage u all ignored. And u are now telling us Germany won coferedation cup. And so what? Did any match of the confederation cup make fp?

evansjeff:
young man, don't just talk, talk with facts, go to the police stations and interview some criminals, know more about their backgrounds...come back and tell me your result.

you that have been to police stations over and over again, tell me your childhood background.

mechanics:
it's current affairs, but at that level the question will be difficult for them.

which current affairs. Primary 2 pupil still learning handwriting. Not SS 2.or year 2 in higher institution

evansjeff:
of course I will teach them and the negatives of their evil doings and where it led them to at the appropriate age so they can avoid any acts capable of bringing them to that level, don't teach yours and you may not be as lucky as Evans' father, you may be destroyed by their acts either by themselves or by the authorities. Same way we avoid sex education and yet the children we think we are hiding things from actually know more than us.

ur children will end worse than Osama bin laden. Trust me

That VAR is the worst thing that will happen to football if adopted.
Just imagine today's final Chile Vs Germany. Despite a clear elbow to d face by a Chilean player, a confirmed red card, he was given yellow. And he even had d audacity to applaud d decision because he knew what he did

Yes o, it is over. Germany won as I predicted.
Lalasticlala u didn't try shaa. The match deserved every bit of FP

Nigeria is finished. Can't believe this 1 Naira to 1 British Pound

Lalasticlala fp pls

Goal for Germany! More to come

DollarAngel:
GOOD FOR HIM

Why did u change your original post where u claimed d guy was not a student

theSpark:
Surprised he's a WO. Congratulations Doctor

the guy should be promoted ASAP

Plateau United all the way

Mods FP pls. Germany will win for sure

evansjeff:
are you aware that most students of these days know more about Nollywood, cartoons than happenings around them? same for most ladies today, some can't even tell you the name of their state Governor, or their constituencies because of this approach of "it's only what's in the scheme that should be taught”. Please children should get the knowledge of happenings around them, from there you can build interest in their environment into them.

when u get children, starting teaching about Osama bin laden, shekau, escobar, anini and Evans from kindergarten

I remember in late 90s in Minna. The Bishop of Minna Catholic Dioceses was an igbo man.
Mbaise people should just stop this madness

youngprofdguru:
I don't know why most Nairalanders thinks with their anus? A primary school teacher asks a child to write about a criminal and you call it current affairs.
May God save this nation from the chaos, anarchy and doom that has befallen us. Always think before replying to posts here.

I wonder o. A primary 2 pupil should write about a suspected kidnapper and armed robber that have wrecked the families of so many people

evansjeff:
This is where you many lots on Nairaland annoy me, are you aware you've only heard the OPs side of the story, and he may have behaved rudely to the teacher to deserve such a response? And who told it's only what's in the scheme that teachers are to teach?

leave the altercation between the op and teacher. In the first instance, what kind of nonsense assignment is that?

evansjeff:
Stupid comments from most Nairalanders as usual, someone paints his own side of a story and we all start to bash the teacher, has anyone wondered if he probably talked rudely to the teacher to deserve such a response from the teacher?

Why on earth will a teacher give a Pri 2 pupil an assignment "who is evans?" what absolute rubbish is that?
That teacher is so lucky that it's not me that he's talking to

Caustics:
who doesn't know she is a Nigerian? So what?

she's not a Nigerian. She's from Sierra leone

Mods, u are not going to correct this headline or what? Kwara is a state, which state capital is ilorin. This story is about. A certain kwara kwara village in Gembu local govt of taraba state.
U guys should live up to you reaponsibilities
