No fewer than 20 persons have been feared killed in Sunday’s renewed clash between the people of Yache-Ijiegu community in River State and TIV settlers from Benue State, over lingering boundary clashes.
A news source in Yache, Augustine Odey, said the hostilities resumed when an indigene of the land, Ayeku Godwin, went to his farm, where TIV assailants allegedly attacked and killed him, adding that the incident resulted in the abduction of at least, nine other persons.
He noted that specific numbers of those who have sustained various degrees of gunshots and machete cuts are also reported to be high while more houses on both sides were reported to have been set ablaze.
