Many people were feared dead, while no fewer than 300 farmers sustained various degrees of injuries and property worth millions of naira destroyed following a clash between the people of Umumbo and their Omor neighbours in Ayamelum Local Government Area of Anambra State.
It was not clear what prompted the latest incident, although Cliq.ng recalls that the two communities had over the years been involved in a protracted land dispute that had claimed several lives in the past.
At press time, it was gathered that about 50 persons allegedly abducted during the bloody clash were still missing.
A large number of houses, shops and rice mills belonging to Umumbo community were also destroyed.
