Victims of communal violence get new homes

    ABIDJAN

    The Ondo State government has built at least 246 homes for Ijaw victims of communal clashes between Ilaje and Arogbo-Ijaw in the riverine area of the state, 'The Guardian' reported on Thursday.

    The paramount ruler of the Ijaws, Eperetun Agagah II, told a state government rehabilitation committee at Arogbo, the IJAW headquarters, on Wednesday that the two communities had learnt to live together and that there would be no more violence. The state commissioner for special
    duties, Adebiyi Adekeye, had come to assess progress on the rebuilding project.
