At least three persons were fatally wounded and scores still missing after an early morning clash between the Urhobo people of Aladja and Ijaw of Ogbe-Ijoh communities in Udu and Warri Southwest local government areas of Delta state, on Thursday.
Although what caused Thursday’s clash was not immediately known at the time of this report, findings revealed that the two communities have been involved in incessant clashes for decades.
Both communities are locked in a boundary dispute that predates the Ijaw /Itsekiri war that lasted from 1997 to 2004.
An indigene of Ogbe-Ijoh, Mr Richard Koremene told our reporter on telephone that three of his kinsmen had been butchered.
“Some Ogbe-Ijoh persons have been injured and tension is very high now and there is concern that the hostility might escalate.” Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday
