He further disclosed that investigation had begun into the matter.

Reports said the two communities had been engaged in age-long boundary conflict that had defied several peaceful interventions.

Trouble started when a farmer from Odo Ekun, reportedly went to one of the disputed areas but was accosted and seriously beaten by some members of Iwo community.

The development was said to have gone out of control, leading to destruction of property and the alleged killing of the farmer.
