The Coalition for Truth and Justice (CTJ) has accused the management of Dangote Cement of a plot to disrupt peace and security in Kogi State.
This is over the state government’s insistence to recover its shares in the company.
The group said rather than address the issues raised by the state government, the company has resorted to name-calling and underarm tactics, ultimately causing turmoil and a threat to security.
The coalition made this known in a press conference addressed by its Secretary-General, Comrade Musa Attah, in Abuja on Sunday.
“This absurdity has been playing out since the Kogi State Government recently sealed the cement company in Obajana, Kogi state,” the group said.
The ownership of the company, originally Obajana Cement Company Plc, has been in contention since after it was renamed Dangote Cement Company Plc.
The group said that it was worrisome that up till this moment, Dangote Group has not refuted the claims by the Commissioner for Information in Kogi State, Mr. Kingsley Femi Fanwo, that the company had allegedly held a meeting where a plot to sabotage the state using federal might was agreed upon.
The group alleged that the plots, which it described as dangerous, were, among other things, to disrupt the peace in Kogi State
