The two neighbours have been at war for more than five decades over a vast fertile land known as Elueke with many lives lost and properties worth billions of naira destroyed.

Late last month, four people were killed on the disputed land while harvesting crops. Three of those killed were from Umuobor while the fourth person, a woman came from Okue community in the local government. The woman was harvesting cassava when she was killed.

Angered by the killings and destruction, the Umuobor people protested on Tuesday. They carried placards with various inscriptions and marched around the area and its environs for hours.

The protesters made up of widows, youths and women, alleged that they have lost over 100 persons in the land tussle, describing it as unacceptable.

One of them, a pregnant woman, Felicia Ajali told Daily Sun that her husband and two children were killed on the land last month when she sent them to go and harvest food for the family.

“My husband and children were my strength and they have been killed.  This land dispute has affected me a lot, I am the worst hit.

“I sent my husband and my two children to go and harvest cassava for me last month and they were killed. Look at my condition as a pregnant woman, how can I survive this condition?

“I had three children and they killed two of them.

I now have only one child. Ogwor people and government should obey Supreme Court judgment and leave our land for us”, she said

One of the leaders of the community, Chief Sylvanus Ibeh, explained that the Ogwor people dragged them to court, and Umuobor won the matter from the high court to the supreme court and wondered why the Ogwor people were dragging the land with them

He lamented that the Umuobor community has lost many lives and properties, including schools, churches, houses and other valuable properties, to the crisis.
