Genesis of crisis

Orient Weekend, however gathered that the cause of the bloody conflict was blamed on an alleged breach of agreement on lease of rice farmland in the area. According to a source who does not want his name in print, the failure of federal government to allocate rice farmlands around the irrigation project was the cause of the friction between the two communities considered as most peaceful neighbours in the local government. “The cause of the fight was a farm land and it was that irrigation project that Federal Government built in 1983. The project eroded all boundaries between Omor, Umumbo, Umuerum and Ifite Ogwari. Because there was no demarcation showing land owned by the communities, when the federal government started allocating lands to individual farmers, many of them ended up having farms inside their neighbours. For instance, I may come from Omor and will be given plot A that fall inside Umumbo area while Umumbo person may be given plot B and Ifite Ogwari indigene may be given Plot C and so on.
Since the irrigation was built in 1985, this has been the practice of farming. Everyone will cultivate their own and at the end of the year, we will go and pay. According to the source, trouble started when in 2019 Umumbo people started claiming that Omor people were working on their land and want them expelled. “Omor people said no that if they want to do anything, they should sue the federal government and if they win, instead of Omor people paying money to the River Basin Authority, they will now pay it to them (Umumbo). Their brother, Dr. Okonkwo and the then house of assembly member & former Federal house of representative member, Barr. G. O. Onyenwife were there. They condemned their people for their acts; they begged Omor people since those people (Umumbo) had cultivated rice already, they should allow them so that after they harvested it, they will pay them for plough and plot. They agreed.It was also agreed that Umumbo people should not come to the farm land again in the next farming season after harvesting their rice. “To our surprise, Umumbo did not pay for plough nor do they pay for plot and they went ahead to cultivate the land again. So, our people accosted them and that’s how the fight started”, the source added.
On the reason for the aggression from Umumbo indigenes, the source said, “What brought about this bravado is their belief that they have more of native doctors and charms than their neighbours. An average Umumbo person is a native doctor and they believe in their charms.
