The face-off, according to the source, was over the control and ownership of a motor park known as Aba Park located in the heart of Upper Iweka in the commercial city of Onitsha, along the ever busy Onitsha-Owerri Road.

Also, property worth millions of naira, including vehicles and shops, were reportedly damaged during the clash which resulted in traders at the Ogbaru Relief Market shutting their shops to protect their lives and wares.

Trouble was said to have started when one of the warring factions allegedly stormed the park early in the morning to forcefully take over its control.
