The mediation efforts reportedly failed, leading to an attack by some members of the Eiye group on the Vikings, resulting in injuries from knife attacks, though no fatalities were reported at that time.
The source said, “The Vikings went back in their numbers and killed one of the top members of ‘Eiye’ which led to an escalation of the crisis and killing spree. The challenge in this is that one of the groups does not accept apology and the other does not apologise,” the source stated.
