“We want to tell you that we have came here to mediate the conflict between Lohutok and Ibabure villiage of Lopit community to enable the two communities reach amicable solution for peace to prevail in the area,” Ameyu said.

The Archbishop called on politicians and intellectuals from the community to join hands with church to end cycle of communal violence in the area
