A heavy gun battled is said to have ensued between both communities during the attack.
A source who spoke under anonymity noted that the military intervened to quell the situation and arrested two persons from Ogbe-Ijoh.
Daily Report recalls that both communities have been at loggerheads for decades over land ownership.
The tussle had led to the recent implementation of a boundary demarcation by the Ifeanyi Okowa-led Delta State Government.
