After almost two years of respite in Etim Ekpo and Ukanafun Local Government Areas of Akwa Ibom State, two persons have been reportedly killed when suspected members of Iceland and Debam confraternities clashed in the areas.
It was gathered that the killings have shattered the fragile peace in the two communities which was occasioned by the amnesty granted to repentant cultists in 2019 by Governor Udom Emmanuel.
The Youth Leader of Udianga Enem village Udeme John while confirming the incident said this will be the second of such killings in recent times.
In a statement made available to newsmen, the Police Public Relations Officer, in Akwa Ibom, Odiko Macedon, said only two persons were killed compared to earlier reports of four adding that the commissioner of police, Andrew Amiengheme, has deployed a Tactical Team to fish out the perpetrators.
