Our correspondent who spoke to  residents of the community on Sunday confirmed that the dispute was between a Bogom man (Muhammad Babadina) and a Tarok farmer.

The dispute was said to have arisen due to the ownership of a land within the Wase community, where the Bogom man claimed to own, but was challenged by the Tarok farmer who equally claimed ownership of the land.

Disagreements on the land led to the killing of two people – leading to additional violence, where several people were killed and other injured.
