Several houses were reportedly burnt on Tuesday as fighting intensified between two communities in Ikpayongo of Gwer East Local Government Area of Benue State.

Daily Trust reports that renewed rivalry between the warring parties -Mbakume (Mbaivur) and Mbasombo people erupted at the weekend while one of the warring parties tried to bury their dead.

Witnesses said that the trouble escalated on Tuesday morning, as the market in the community was set ablaze amid sporadic gunshots.

Residents took refuge in a church in the community.

Immediate past governor of Benue, Samuel Ortom, tried different options to restore peace, including suspending traditional rulers, but there was no meaningful result.

The police also initiated dialogues to end the crisis but it continued unabated.

Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), SP Catherine Anene, confirmed the latest incident, saying houses were burnt.

Anene added that the situation was under control as operatives of the command had been drafted to quell the crisis.

tiefnibu oleriburuku continue From where bubu stopped

[First test for Tinibu

Why does it feel like state governors never do their job to mitigate communal conflict?

Chai..

Are people still existing in Benue State?

The number of people that have died in the State made it look as if Benue has been shut down as a State!

Tivnubu said he will continue from where the poo in hari stopped....

This is too bad,the governor should please be very proactive in the matter of security of lives and properties. I pray peace returns to the state.

One useless cretin is busy opening threads to ridicule Peter Obi, while his state of origin is burning,i don't know who gave birth to that kind of wayward slowpoke.

These people eeh. Ordinary criticism of failed government they resort to ethnicities

.

Yoruba Muslims sef.

Most useless in Nigeria
Very dull and weak set of people

Be like say dem population don too much.

I wander why these people fighting themselves in Benue do not fight against the Fulani herdsmen killing and destroying properties of Benue citizens.

Idiotic Benue people are always quick to fight themselves, but runs away on sighting of Fulani herdsmen.
For the past 10 years, Fulani herdsmen has been killing people in Benue and none of Benue groups has mobilized against them

I once again call on Omenka, whose voice and opinion is highly needed at this time of tribulations.

All this issues are highly political only few are Cultural differences

Tinubu is working

On is m@nhood we shall stand
