Two communities in Yala Local Government Area of northern Cross River State, Ugaga and Igbekurekor are currently at war with each other, information reaching CrossRiverWatch shows.
The conflict started last weekend, Tim Ugaga Esq, the President of the Ugaga Family Union, says.
“It is about land and boundaries. It is unfortunate that this is happening,” Mr. Ugaga said.
Mr. Ugaga said the conflict between both communities has been dormant for a long while and was only triggered by allegations of an incursion into farmland.
“The problem started with the story that Ugaga people tilled heaps and the Igbekurekor people went to plant on them. I learned there was an attempt at a peace meeting, but that failed, and now they are at war. It is shameful,” Mr. Ugaga explained.
Ugaga who disclosed that he was at neighboring Okuku community when he was contacted by CrossRiverWatch, said he saw trucks of soldiers heading towards Ugaga which he hopes is to calm the situation.
