A statement by the Acting President’s spokesman, Mr Laolu Akande, also directed the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) to liaise with the state government toward sending relief materials to affected communities.

Osinbajo condemned the recent communal conflict in the area, and appealed to warring communities to embrace peace to enable government to find lasting solution to the crisis.

This was not the first time both communities clashed over issues of land ownership.

The June 27 and June 29 clash appeared to be the most devastating, as it left the community deserted.

Wanikade and Wanihem communities both share boundaries with Benue.

Persons displaced by the conflict were currently being camped at Efiola-Emokpe community in Oju Local Government Area of Benue.
