DELTA: Two persons have been reportedly killed while many others sustained injuries in a renewed clash between Ogbe-Ijoh community of Warri South West Council Area and Aladja Community of Udu Local Government Area of Delta State.

It was gathered that there was sporadic shooting all through Saturday morning and it later turned bloody in Aladja community.

Sources said, “the government inability to demarcate the disputed boundary involving both communities has been the reason for this age-long crisis.

“Several persons were shot resulting in the death of a 40 year old Efe America at Aladja and a 29 year old female wedding guest at Ogbe-Ijoh.
