The communities are, Inyima, Assiga and Ekpeti.
The trio fight for a small piece of land that has claimed the lives of hundreds over the years may be over as a peace agreement was signed at a meeting on Sunday.
The Clan heads, leaders of youth, women and religious groups were all in attendance including the Heads of the two police divisions in the areas.
The Obol Lopon of Ugep, Obol Ofem Ubana who acts as the Paramount Ruler in Yakurr attended the meeting alongside his colleagues from the three communities.
