Sources in the community told THE WHISTER on Friday that two unidentified persons were killed while houses were set ablaze including the palace of Isinigbo.

The attack was said to have forced some persons to flee from the community to take refuge in other communities.

The attack was said to be connected with the land dispute between Ode and Isinigbo which are neighbouring communities.

The palace of Ode monarch was destroyed and the monarch moved to the second palace.
