Their spokesman, Dayo Afolabi, told Daily Trust that the estate had taken different steps before the commencement of the project and had met with the Department of Petroleum Resources (DPR), as well as the investor of the gas plant but all efforts proved abortive.
He called on relevant authorities to intervene and suspend the ongoing projects to prevent impending disaster in the state.
The DPR in Oyo State could not be reached for reaction as of the time of filing this report.
