Five persons have been confirmed dead and thousands displaced in a renewed skirmish that ensued between the indigenes of Adadama in Abi Local Government Area of Cross River state and indigenes of Amagu in Ikwo Local Government Area of Ebonyi state.
Eyewitness account says unknown gunmen from Amagu community stormed neighbouring Abi community and fired indiscriminately, with sophisticated weapons, at the villagers killing five persons in the process.
The war is reported to have scared people dwelling in the community and has caused many to desert the place.
Security agencies have however been deployed from Calabar, the Cross River State Capital to protect the few people left behind and the property of the displaced.
