It was learnt that the clash which started on Thursday evening snowballed into a full blown crisis on Friday morning.

It was further gathered that one person was killed on Thursday evening, while another was hacked down in the early hours of Friday.

The incident caused panic among residents of the area as many traders refused to open their shops for business.

“A dead body was found around the Mowe area on Friday morning. We are being careful. Many of us are yet to open our shops. Everywhere is scanty.”

“They (cultists) started the fight yesterday (Thursday) evening and continued this (Friday) morning.
