Ogbor Hill
It took the efforts of security men to quell what would have been a deadly riot between Igbos as Hausa/Fulani Cattle rearers at Water Side Ogbor Hill on Thursday, 5th May 2016.
An Eyewitness narrated that the clash started when an Hausa cattle rearer allegedly stabbed an Igbo man after some slight quarrel, this led to anger among the Igbo people who saw what happened.
"They killed two Hausa men at the spot, others scampered to the nearest police station, as the slaughter boys chased them with matchetes and cutlasses." he said.
The young Igbo man who was stabbed by the Hausa man, was reported to have died some moments later as he was stabbed in the heart, the news of his death made the slaughter boys to organize and head to Mosque street Aba.
As at the time of filing this report, the Hausa community in Aba has been deserted over what they feared as bigger reprisals by Ogbor Hill slaughter boys.
Another eye witness told our correspondent on the phone - "There is chaos everywhere, from St. Michael's Aba we didnt know what happened, all we saw were group of people, some on foot and inside bus heading towards Mosque, with dangerous weapons, I have to run very far because even the security men could not stop them and there were gun shots everywhere".
