COMMUNITIES in Akpabuyo and Bakassi have cried out over the wanton destruction of their ancestral properties and economic trees estate for super highway by Cross River State government.
The communities numbering more than 20 in Akpabuyo and Bakassi LGA of Cross River said they were already counting their loses over what they termed as gross violation of their fundamental human rights.
The mobilisation of the bulldozers by the Ben Ayade-led government of Cross River State into the hinterlands of Akpabuyo and Bakassi LGA, they said, had left untold hardship on the community people.
According to them, the affected communities are on the Esighi, Atimbo-East and Edem Odo flank of the local government area. They also claimed that the bulldozers had destroyed more than 20,000 stands of healthy palm trees including other economic trees, grave yards and community forests and sources of water.
