The leaders of the community have asked the company to vacate their land in the interest of peace, alleging that it was illegally acquired.

“This has been a pain and we are all crying. With what you are seeing, erosion has taken over the land we have. The only hope we have if the erosion continues, where we will relocate to is sold or lease to this very Lebanese man and the pain is now very deep in us.

Mr Richard said the youth of the community might be tempted to resort to self-help just to get their land back. “After my findings, I met with the community, their Highness and over 200 youths from the community and 14 elderly chiefs who then gave their consent and approved with a lot of incentives such as borehole, hospital, schools, scholarship, among others, before I finally met with the government for approval.
