There is palpable fear in Afaha Eket, Eket Local Government Area of Akwa Ibom State over the worsening internal crisis rocking the ‘Oil Flow Qua Steel Partners’ a steel mining company in the community.
On the origin of the crisis, a source who pleaded anonymity, told journalists on Friday that the Oil Flow Service Limited on January 13, 2021 approached Akwa Ibom State government, through the State Investment and Industrial Promotion Council to express interest in purchase of Qua Steel Obsolete Metals.
“On joining the deal, KAM STEEL made available the said sum with an agreement that “Nothing leaves the site until it exhausts the agreed materials paid for. It was gathered that while some of the partners, including, Winifred Akpaka were of the opinion that the purchased obsolete steel must not be sold out to external persons until KAM STEEL, the principal partner exhausts the agreed materials paid for, Lucky Akhiwu on the other hand reportedly went against the agreement by collecting money from other non partners for materials already sold out.
