NO fewer than 12 persons were feared killed in a communal clash, weekend, in some parts of Mbiabet Ikpe, in Ini Local Government Area of Akwa Ibom State, while the Village Head of Mbiabet Ikot Uwa, who was abducted on the night of the mayhem is yet to return to his community. Meanwhile, sources say he may still be alive.
The headless body of one of the victims was taken by the Divisional Police Officer of the area in the company of the council chairman to the morgue.
All the houses in Ayehedia village with a population of 3,000, people were leveled, as all the indigenes of the community had been sacked and forced to take refuge in neighbouring Mbiabet Ikot Udo, Ikpe Ikot Nkon, Mbiabet Esieyere and Ibam Edet villages.
Domestic animals were completely wiped out, while farmlands in the once peaceful community, whose major occupation is subsistence farming, had been totally ravaged by irate youths of the warring communities.
