There is an ongoing crises at Itigidi in cross river.
The fight is as a result of Cattle that the fulanis claimed was killed by Itigidi people last year.

So as at yesterday, police arrested the community chiefs to that effect. The youths protested chiefs arrest and took their protest to police station, beating up police officers and depleting their vehicle tires.

Police signal Dss and they started shooting at at random when they arrive. They were shooting in the air at first, but the boy were still adamant and started throwing stones. At that moment I knew trouble is brewing, so i ran away far away.

As at yesterday, 1 was recorded dead. A mortuary attendant and chairman aspirant. He was at the mediating b/w the boys and police initially, can't tell what led to him been gun down.

Will update later with pictoral evidence of scene. Couldn't stay yesterday to take pictures as bullets were flying.

Rest in peace to the dead. But why should the DPO arrest the comunity chiefs instead of taking them to their own police division, he decided to take them to Ugep a diffenerent LG entirely, and Itigidi is even the headquarters of Abi, that's an insult to the people of that comunity nah.. I heard the DOP is even a Northern, no wonder his been tribalitic in handling the case.

Abeg we need a state Police jare
