There was pandemonium on Tuesday morning after a group of gunmen from Uffiom attacked Omege People in Ebonyi State killing people in their dozen.
Kemi Filani gathered that houses were both burnt and five persons kidnapped from Omege village.
The crisis started as a result of a misunderstanding between two factions of Effium branch of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) over which group to be in charge of collecting money in the Effium motor park.
Residents of the area said over one thousand have been killed in the crisis, but Ebonyi state government claimed only eight persons have been killed.
The ugly incident is happening despite that the government had freed the stakeholders of both clans who were earlier detained for days by the Police on the orders of Governor David Umahi, for allowing such crisis to erupt in the area.
The Governor who had promised not to free the stakeholders until peace returned, made a U-turn last week, by releasing them with a charge to go to their area and assure that absolute peace returned.
The Stakeholders, in agreement to the government directive, returned home to preach peace to their people, but fillers from the area indicate that their efforts yielded no result, as malice between the two clans have continued to persist.
