Four dead in Akwa Ibom communal clash

The crisis between the communities broke out in 2008, resulting in the destruction of lives, property and displacement of thousands of residents from the warring communities.

Since then, efforts by successive administrations to resolve the crisis had yielded little or no results.

MacDon said, “The crisis in Amazaba community in Eastern Obolo and Ikot Akpan Udo of Ette clan in Ikot Abasi local government has led to the loss of four lives. We have mobilised about 300 policemen to the places; there is heavy deployment.

“Furthermore, the command is sparing no resources in restoring normalcy. The CP has called on those concerned to give peace a chance. He has further called on relevant state and non-state actors to intensify their interface in order to restore peace.”
