A pregnant woman has been shot dead after a clash over a disputed plot of land by Enwhe and Igbide communities of Isoko South Local Government Area of Delta state.

Five persons were declared missing after the clash.

According to Punch, the clash over the land could be dated back to 1967.

It was reported that the recent fracas started when some Enwhe women were allegedly attacked by suspected gunmen from Igbide, who had gone to harvest cassava on Monday morning from the land.
