Indigenes of Bomadi have kicked against the proposed public hearing on the inclusion of Ayamasa II community in Delta State, stressing the decision was not in the collective interest of the community.
The Bomadi Legislative Assembly had earlier slated tomorrow, Wednesday 25th October, 2023 for a public hearing on the inclusion of Ayamasa II, a portion of land belonging to Ayamasa community in Bayelsa state, which situates on the Delta State axis of the Bolou-toru River, the boundary between Delta and Bayelsa States.
The protesters carrying placards with inscriptions such as “Bomadi federated community says No to the proposed public hearing of Ayamasa II creation by the Bomadi local government council”, the proposed inclusion of Ayamasa II to Bomadi LGA will create more communal conflicts” among others. “We also want to know the actual location of the said Ayamasa II community, as we do not see in sight any existing community in the said location. Our neighbouring Ayamasa community have been disturbing us with land issues and without proper settling of such issues, there will be crisis if the said Ayamasa II is created without our knowledge and support.
In the same vein, the president, Supreme Olou Congress, the law-making arm of the community government, Barr Dennis Alade, said: “We heard there is a planned creation of an additional community in Bomadi local government area. We are here to say that, the so-called Ayamasa II is a forest without inhabitants.
