No fewer than 14 persons from Umuogudu Akpu Ngbo in Ohaukwu Local Government Area of Ebonyi state have been killed by suspected warlords from Agila in Ado Local Government Area of Benue State.
Daily Sun gathered that property worth millions of naira were also destroyed in the renewed boundary dispute between the two neighbouring communities which has lingered for decades.
Sources in the area confirmed the incident to Daily Sun, adding that the attackers invaded the Ebonyi community at about 1:00PM on Tuesday.
A reporter with the Ebony State Broadcasting Corporation, (EBBC) attached to the wife of the Governor of Ebonyi State, Mrs. Pauline Nwaneri, who is from the area also confirmed the incident, lamenting that four members of her family were killed in the attack.
She called on security agents and the state government to quickly intervene and save their people from further attack and destruction.

Howdy! I know this is somewhat off topic but
I was wondering if you knew where I could locate a captcha
plugin for my comment form? I’m using the same blog platform as yours and I’m having
trouble finding one? Thanks a lot!
Definitely believe that which you stated. Your favorite reason seemed to be on the web
the simplest thing to be aware of. I say to you, I definitely get irked while people consider worries
that they plainly do not know about. You managed to hit the nail upon the top and defined out the whole
thing without having side effect , people can take
a signal. Will probably be back to get more. Thanks
I am extremely impressed with your writing skills and also with the layout on your weblog.
Is this a paid theme or did you customize it yourself? Anyway keep up the nice quality writing, it is rare to see a nice blog
like this one nowadays.
