Kogi State Government, yesterday, sealed Dangote Cement Factory, Obajana, following agitation by Kogi indigenes over what they termed questionable circumstances surrounding the acquisition of the company.

Seven Dangote workers allegedly shot, others injured

The State House of Assembly alleged that Dangote, upon invitation by the Assembly, requested for more time but did not appear at the House to show any evidence to the contrary. “The House of Assembly therefore ordered the closure of the company pending when they are able to present it with credible evidence of a valid acquisition.”

“In this regard, Dangote has an obligation to respect and also give effect to the resolution of the Kogi State House of Assembly to avoid any act of lawlessness.” The vigilantes were allegedly led by the state Director-General of Lands; Commissioner for Solid Minerals, Senior Special Assistant to the Governor on Security, Commodore Jerry Omodara , Chairman of Kabba/Bunu council, Chairman of Ijumu council and the State ALGON Chairman, Alh. Taofeek; Senior Special Assistant on Job Creation, Mr. Dele Iselewa and Chairman of Lokoja council, Alh. Mohammed Dansabe.

Why the fuck did This happen

Mere sealing of a production factory by government ordinarily should not involve protestation on the part of the company and talk more of shooting on the part of government agency. This should be thoroughly investigated.
