THIRTY persons have been arrested for alleged involvement in a communal clash in Tigno, Lamurde Council of Adamawa State.

Violence broke out between the Hausa and Chobo communities in Tigno on Thursday night, with isolated attacks running through Sunday despite a visit to the place by Governor Ahmadu Fintiri on Friday.

There were speculations that close to 40 people had died and 50 others injured, with hundreds displaced after their houses were burnt.

Police spokesman Suleiman Nguroje said in a statement on Monday that 30 suspects had been arrested, and investigations ongoing.
