Edo
Community Rejects BUA’s Operations in Okpella
Members
of the Imiefo kindred of Kalaba Community of Afokpella - Okpella in Etsako East
Local Government Area, Edo State, have rejected the consent purportedly given
to Obu Cement Company Limited (OCCL), an arm of BUA Group of Companies, by
the traditional ruler of the Okpella clan, the Okuokpellagbe of Okpella, Alhaji
A.Y.F. Dirisu,to operate on their land.
The
community is irked by the fact that the traditional ruler gave the consent
without consulting its members.
They
objected to the operations of the company on their land and advised the promoters
not to venture into the land.
They
faulted the purported owner’s consent allegedly issued by the traditional ruler
to the company to operate on their land without their consent.
