clashes between the people of Ariam Usaka Ukwu community and the neighboring
Ini Local Government Area of Akwa Ibom State over a boundary dispute.
Speaking on Saturday during an interview with newsmen, on
Saturday, Nwabuisi lamented that lives have been lost and properties destroyed
in Ariam Usaka Ukwu Ikwuano and that people of the area have lost 28 persons to
the crisis.
The Abia lawmaker, who noted that people of the area are
law-abiding, stated that they have since halted retaliation against the people
