People of the Onyadama community in Obubra LGA of Cross River State have called on the Federal Government to establish an army base, and buffer zone on
At a news conference in Calabar, the spokesman of Onyadama, Festus Obo, and the clan head, HRH Vincent Frena, tasked the government to also investigate the sources of sophisticated weapons used in unleashing mayhems in Onyadama since last year.
They alleged that the Nko people have been the aggressors who have refused to abide by several peace pacts and court judgements over the disputed land since the 1940s. According to them, they were law-abiding and it is incorrect to say that their sons in government were funding the acquisition of lethal weapons to wipe out the Onyadama people.
“We want the government to release and implement the White Paper of the 2009 judicial commission on inquiry into the crises between our two communities.
