Abstract

The quest and attachment which people have over land make land a leading factor of conflict. History has it that human beings have always conflicted over land matters and for which there are multiple consequences and effects on the parties who are directly or indirectly involved in it. This study is on the most affected group of the effects of land dispute induced homicide in conflicting communities in Anambra State. Land dispute between individuals and communities has been a recurrent risk factor in Anambra State and the State has records of inter intra communal conflicts and violence arising from land. The sample size of the study was 530 adult respondents. The respondents were selected through the process of categorising the communities of the study into six social sub groups. Questionnaire guide, Focused Group Discussion FGD and Key Informant Interview KII guides were used as instruments for the collection of quantitative data and qualitative data. The sampling technique was probability sampling procedure, to ensure that relevant individuals were met. Selection of the respondents from each of the population categories was done by proportionate stratified random sampling method. The study showed that anybody irrespective of social class could be a victim of violence over land.
