Member Representing Bekwarra/Obudu/Obanliku In Federeal House of Representatives Rt. Hon. Legor Idagbo has had an engagement with his colleague Representing Kwande/Ushongo Federal Constituency of Benue State in a bid to bring peace to two warring communities across the neighbouring states.

Skirmishes have erupted between the people of Mbakunu village in Shangev-ya Kwande Local Government Area of Benue State and the Lishiche in Bishiri North Ward of Obanliku Local Government Area of Cross River State over disputed lands for some time now.

The members’ discussion centered on returning enduring peace to the two communities (which have lived with each other harmoniously for decades until recent times when these skirmishes began to occur) in particular and Cross River and Benue states in general.
