3 killed in Ebonyi/Cross River boundary clash
Three persons have been beheaded in the renewed hostility between people of Azuofia Edda Community in Abakaliki Local Government Area of Ebonyi State and Osopong Community in Obubora Local Government of Cross River State.
Sunday Sun gathered that the crisis started last week when the people of Osopong Community accused their neighboring community of Azuofia Edda of masterminding the killing of one of their own who was suspected to have been killed by a cult group.
According to Precious Nwite, who hails from Azuofia Edda, the deceased was believed to have been killed with the intention of using his head to bury their traditional ruler who died recently.
