Recall that in 2010, conflict erupted between Boje and Isobendeghe communities resulting in the intervention of the former Governor Liyel Imoke to confiscate the disputed land.

The crises that followed have caused loss of lives, destruction of properties, and displacement of several residents in both communities.

“Social media users are the ones escalating this conflict. They are the ones fanning this ember of war.
