The crisis, which had last week escalated and led to exchange of gun fire between youths of the warring communities, led to the visit of the Council Chairman, Chief Tiwei Orunimighe.
Also, the two factional chiefs parading themselves as traditional rulers of the warring communities were sacked.
It was gathered that the crisis was provoked by the struggle for the control of the proceeds from illegal bunkering in the area, a situation which led to the emergence of two youth bodies and traditional rulers for the warring communities.

On sighting officers of JTF some of the youths escaped while, one person was arrested and some firearms recovered.
Orunimighe at a peace meeting removed the chairmen of the communities development committees and selected compound chiefs to take over the affairs of the villages pending the election of new paramount rulers.
Orunimigha pleaded with the feuding factions in the communities to maintain peace as they could not install a new leadership through violence.
