The killing of the Igbo females led to reprisal attacks from the Igbos where many were reported to have sustained high degree injuries according to the Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Andrew Enwerem.
Three persons, which include two females and a man, have been confirmed dead in an inter-ethnic clash that happened between the Hausa and the Igbo people in Imo State.
The incident happened in Akokwa community in Ideato Local Government Area of the state, where a northern man killed a girl, woman and then himself.
This led to reprisal attacks from the Igbos where many were reported to have sustained high degree injuries according to the Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Andrew Enwerem.
