He also alleged that property worth millions of naira have been destroyed by invaders, making the natives to flee in droves.
The lawmaker narrated this on the floor of the Abia State House of Assembly during a plenary session.
He said the boundary clash has brought untold sorrow to his people, and called on the Abia State House of Assembly to immediately intervene while appealing to security agencies to do more in ending the alleged killings.
