Policemen attacked, houses razed in Ebonyi, Cross River communities

HOSTILITIES returned at the weekend to Adadama and Amagu Ikwo commu­nities in Ebonyi and Cross River states, with many policemen drafted to the ar­eas sustaining injuries during the attack.
Though Daily Sun gathered that no­body died, it was gathered that some policemen drafted to maintain peace and order at the buffer between the two warring communities were attacked and many sustained injuries with many houses razed when people suspected to come from Adadama invaded Ikwo community.
The recent attack by the people of Adadama in Abi Local Government Area of Cross River State was blamed on the allegation that the people of Amagu Ikwo in Ikwo council area of Ebonyi State allegedly trespassed into the buffer between the two war­ring communities.
They alleged further that the people of Ebonyi in connivance with some policemen had been trespassing into the land, which allegedly led to the recent at­tack, with some policemen sus­taining injuries while residents of the Ebonyi community fled for dear lives.
