From Nigeria-Anambra State-owned Lafiagi Primary School in Fegge area of Onitsha has become a subject of controversy as Catholic and Anglican churches are battling for its ownership.
The school, which situates between St Michael's Catholic Church and St Faith's Anglican Church, both in Fegge, was before the clash used by both churches for social activities.
Vanguard gathered that an incident occurred during Sunday's worship as youths of both churches tried to stop the other from making use of the school field.
Parish Priest of St Faith's Anglican Church, Rev Canon Obiora Uzochukwu, told newsmen yesterday that there had been a lingering crisis over the ownership of the land where the school was built.
According to him, trouble started when the state government gave the Anglican Church the space in the school to conduct its church service.
Rev Obiora said: "The Anglican Communion has been worshiping at the primary school for more than 40 years and we view the recent attack by the Catholics as a way of playing scripts written by unknown hands to intimidate us.
