Benue State Government has waded into the protracted conflict between Unyande and Kwenev communities in the Uvir council ward of Guma LGA of the state. The crisis, which has lasted for over three decades, involves ownership of a river located between the two communities.
It has claimed many lives and disrupted farming activities in the axis. The State Government restrained the two communities from the disputed River Antse in a bid to find a lasting solution to the crisis and restore peace to the affected areas.
If anyone goes ahead to do anything that may lead to the breakdown of law and order we will go after the person”, Har stated. The Ter Guma, HRH Dennis Shemberga commended the Government for its prompt intervention in the lingering crisis, saying this would prevent the crisis into full blown communal war between Iyharev and Ngongov.
