A
bloody war between Agatu and Otukpo communities in Benue state, were
averted in the early hours of today if not for the timely intervention
of the Deputy Governor of Benue State.
Scene of the incident
According to Idoma People News (IPN), a timely intervention of the
Deputy Governor of Benue State, Engr. Benson Abounu and George Alli who
led the men of the Nigeria Police and the Civil Defence, has led to the
quelling of what would have turned out to be a bloody war between Agatu
and Otukpo.
Details are still sketchy however, it was gathered that an
Adoka-Icho man beat an Agatu boy to death. The Agatu people not having
none of this took the war to Adoka-Icho.
It took the intervention of the men of the police and the Civil
Defence who were mobilised to the scene by the SOLAD with the support of
the Deputy Governor to dissipate what could have turned deadly.
