At least six five persons were killed over the weekend when inter-boundary clashes between Isu community in Arochukwu Local Government area of Abia State and Ukwa Mbiabong Ukwa Eburutu community of Odukpani LGA, Cross River State, resurfaced.

The cause of the latest bloodletting has not been disclosed as of Monday morning when a confirmation of the casualties was made.

There have always been intermittent boundary clashes between these neighbouring communities, leaving scores of deaths in the last 10 years.

In the last six months, this would be the second time that the Ukwa community has been invaded, according to natives.
