The Nigeria police have declared the Managing Director of BUA’s Obu Cement Company, Engineer Yusuf Binji, wanted over an attack on the convoy of the Edo State Governor, Mr Godwin Obaseki.

Also attacked were some officials of the Edo State Government who were on the convoy of the Edo State Governor.

According to the police, the decision to declare Binji wanted became necessary as it had earlier received intelligence that BUA International Limited is sponsoring militias in Okpella, Edo State, where the company has a cement factory and mine sites.

These militias, the police said, were allegedly sponsored by Binji and his team to attack the convoy of the governor, cause harm and mayhem.

I think this is the right move. BUA has been funding a militia in Okpella community and has refused to sign a community development agreement with the community. What it does is just to pay the royal father some money and that is it.

The people of Okpella do not occupy any management position in the company because BUA say they are not qualified. Will you tell us there is no one with at most an MBA in that community.

After muzzling the community, they are now hellbent on disregarding the federal and state government. This is not how a responsible businessman should behave, if you ask me.

We were around two days ago when the state governor came around and the people were insulting him when he was leaving the King's palace. If you go to that community, you'll see the kind of animosity the company has sown in the minds of the people. Families are divided because of the activities of this company and the coming of Dangote. At most, can't this two companies coexist in the community without rancour?

The boys, who are militias many rumour are funded by BUA, even set a blockade by burning two tyres along the road when the governor was leaving the King's palace.

I think it is better to sue for peace and this man should go and answer his father's name with the Police.

The governor is doing the right thing to ensure that there is peace in the state. The mine was shut for everybody, why not obey the simple directive and use their other mines until the court passes judgement but instead they chose to disobey directly. There is no favoritism here. This is why Edo people continue to trust him as governor.

You guys are getting it wrong. A matter is in court and one of the parties, BUA ignored a Stop Work Order and is mining at the site under litigation. When caught pants down, BUA resorted to recruiting militias to attack the Edo state governor's convoy and other govt officials, who merely intervened to protect Edo people in Okpella. Why the rush to quickly mine from the site in question when BUA has other mining sites in the same location. No amount of pity party or emotional blackmail can sway right thinking people. Wait for the court to rule on the matter. As for the attack on the governor, the MD needs to face the music.

Forget all the English some are speaking up there,


Its all Dangote at work...
His extreme closeness to Obaseki is public knowledge

Dangote wants to monopolise everything in this country,
The way things are going I will not be surprised if by 2019,he will monopolise the air that we breathe...

Well,like I have said in the past,they will settle out of court,they are from the same,the same(you know)!

teemanbastos:
I hope his 'big man reputation' wouldn't get him off the hook?

Ebenledion:


This is not about monopoly or Dangote or BUA. It's about law and order in Edo state.

Good thing we were wise enough to vote Governor Obaseki as our governor. He continues to impress Edolites with manfulness.
