Three killed in Niger as communities clash over land The Punch No fewer than three persons were reportedly killed, while scores were injured during a clash between the Boku and Doko communities in the Lavun Local Government Area of Niger State. The dispute, which was connected to the 50-year land dispute between the two communities, broke out last Thursday with an attack by Doko people against the Boku, who are less populated. It was gathered that several houses and vehicles belonging to the Boku people were burnt down, while many livestock were stolen as well as money. A resident of Boku, Mohammed Alikali, said two persons died of gunshot wounds on the spot, while the third person passed away at the Federal Medical Centre, Bida.
