Out of the eight lives reported dead in the past weeks, five were members of the cult groups, while three community members slumped and died when they heard the sound of the guns. One person who was abducted has yet to be seen.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He appealed to the Nigeria Police and Imo State Government to intervene by making sure that those who fled the communities to neighbouring communities out of fear of being killed return home.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur people have become displaced and taken refuge in churches in neighbouring communities like Assa, Obile, Obosima, and Umuokanne and they\u2019re dying because they have no food, no access to their homes and farmlands. Imagine people living outside their homes in this economic hardship.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo ensure that peace returns to the areas, the communities of Awara and Ochia have constituted a committee to come out with measures to restore peace.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He expressed hope that the committee would do a good job in the restoration of lasting peace in the area, saying, \u201cWe need peace to return to our communities so that people can lead their normal lives.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A youth leader who spoke in confidence because of security concerns told PUNCH Metro that the clash was a supremacy battle between groups fighting over the control of proceeds from oil companies operating in the communities.<\/p>\n<p>He said, \u201cIt is a battle by two groups over who will control the proceeds of the money that come to Awarra and Ochia communities by the oil companies that operate there. One group is controlled by a man called Acid while the other is led by Achis, seeking to dislodge it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He confirmed that no fewer than four people had been killed in the clashes but noted that normalcy had been restored following the intervention of the government.<\/p>\n<p>The Imo State Police Public Relations Officer, Henry Okoye, confirmed the incident.<\/p>\n<p>He said the security agencies had been receiving complaints about attacks by some criminal elements in the areas.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe police have been doing a lot to restore peace in Ohaji. The Commissioner of Police has engaged in a series of meetings with stakeholders of Ohaji. We, in collaboration with other security personnel, have enhanced security strategy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOhaji\u2019s security also lies with the people of the area because there\u2019s no way we can actually get it right without the maximum cooperation of people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Commissioner of Police has personally visited Ohaji. The cooperation with the stakeholders is yielding results because we have made several arrests. The security of Ohaji has improved since the current police boss came. We are doing everything possible to restore peace and order in the area.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>He also pointed out that the government is not doing enough to check the nefarious activities and deadly onslaught of the cultists At least eight persons have lost their lives after a ferocious confrontation broke out between warring cult groups in Imo State.
