However, the violence left not less than nine persons dead.

A verified information stated that the violence has nothing to do with fulani herdsmen.

In Ebonyi inter tribal war, many people were killed while countless houses were destroyed.

Rather, it was a communal dispute between the community and the neighbouring Agila community of Adọ LGA of Benue state. There is no link between the violence and the Fulani herdsmen.

A similar occurrance happened in Apri 2019 between Ndiagu Alike and Enyibichiri communities in Ikwo LGA

Herdsmen have no hands on the Ebonyi inter tribal war that has left many dead and many displaced.

Not less than 8 people died in that particular violence.

Another similar conflict happened between Ogiri and Okporojo communities in Afikpo South LGA in July 2017. This led to the death of about 40 persons.

Another destroyed house in the crisis region. A lot of people were killed in this very house

Yet another conflict beteen Ohankwu and Amana communities of Ikwo and Ezza south LGA was averted recently.

Nevertheless, the Ezza-Ezilo war in Ebonyi killed hundreds of people. This made international headlines during the reign of Ex President Goodluck Ebelemi Jonathan.

Presently, there are at least one dozen active communal violence in Ebonyi state.

The government should look properly into these conflicts and identify the source of a threat and danger. This will enable the government to give a lasting solution to end these needless and endless loss of lives and properties in Ebonyi State.
