Ibeno Elders Challenge Ekid's Ownership Claims Over Stubb Creek Forest Reserve
The Ibeno elders, represented by Chief Udofia Okon Udofia, have refuted Ekid's claims of ownership over the Stubb Creek forest reserve in Akwa Ibom State. They argue that historical legal judgments do not confer perpetual ownership to Ekid and emphasize the state's statutory power over land use.
The dispute revolves around the BUA Refinery project and the alleged encroachment on EPU land. The elders stress that the matter is civil, not criminal, and advise Ekid to consider the legal framework governing land ownership.
