Meanwhile, a prominent son of Ugep and chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, Obono Obla, has condemned the crisis in a statement.

He said, “I call on the Cross River State and Federal government of Nigeria as a matter of urgency to intervene to stem the orgy of violence that has engulfed Nko in Yakurr; and Onyadama in Obubra local government areas.

“The violence has led to the unprecedented destruction of lives and properties in the past two weeks, the dislocation of the lives of the people from these two communities, and a breakdown of law and order.

“The blames for this unfortunate and sad turn of events is on the Chairmen of Yakurr and Obubra local government councils. They are guilty of dereliction of their responsibilities.”
