The youths
Some youths who appealed with herdsmen to leave their land were allegedly battered by some officials of the Nigerian Army in Nde Community in Ikom Local Government Area, Cross River State.
The attack promoted residents and monarchs to cry out to the military and state government for help.
Community members claimed that the youths "pleaded with the herdsmen" to leave their land after their cattle destroyed almost all their produce.
Consequently, soldiers allegedly arrived the community and beat up their youths for asking the herdsmen to leave.
Members of the community have said that they are peaceful and have asked herdsmen and the army to leave them in peace.
