Ogun Towns Clash Over Eba Island Oil Rights, Sparking Dispute and Calls for Government Intervention
The conflict over oil rights on Eba Island has intensified between the Od Omi Makun Omi community in Ogun State and the neighboring Oba Oshobia Makun Omi. The Od Omi Makun Omi community asserts ancestral ownership of Eba Island, triggering tensions.
In a letter to Governor Dapo Abiodun, they protested the rival claim and warned of potential unrest. The dispute has historical roots, with the Od Omi Makun Omi community citing long-established custodianship over the area.
They have called for a thorough investigation involving relevant state agencies to resolve the conflict and prevent further escalation. The involvement of President Bola Tinubu and the Ogun State government has been requested to mediate and ensure a transparent process.
