CALABAR — OKPOMA youths in Yala
Local Government Area of Cross River
State, have invaded the neighbouring
Igbekerokor community over a land
dispute.
The youths, according to eye witness,
invaded Igbekorekor community
following fresh misunderstanding over
the long-standing dispute over a
farmland between the two communities,
which several efforts to resolve had failed.
Mr. Matthias Odey, an eye-witness, said
the youths with bands tied round their
heads chanting war songs, descended on the neighbouring community and set
alight the houses located on their
common border, daring the Igbekorikor
youths to come out for battle.
“Those of us who went to work at the
council secretariat in Okpoma were held
up for several hours as no one dared to
go near for obvious reasons,” Matthias
said.
According to him, the aggrieved youths
barricaded the only major road between
the two communities for several hours
and stopped people from crossing.
