A citizen of the community Mr Chuks Peter  who  spoke to our correspondent lamented the act been carried out by Mr Emmanuel lamenting that how would someone build on the road leading to a community .

Mr Peter said several elders of the community had intervened and called on Mr Emmanuel to stop the construction of the building but to no avail .

The road in which Emmanuel is currently building was  given to the community  by  a Yourba man who was the then  owner of the plot before he sold it out  years ago ,in which Mr Emmanuel who was an agent  now is claiming ownership of the road  .
