Claims that the armed Military presence in Ada and its surrounding communities was facilitated by the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of McDan Group of companies cannot be true.
It was reported that armed soldiers invaded farmlands in the communities and prevented the people from working.
According to the said publications, the soldiers were in the communities at the behest of McDan.
Meanwhile, checks conducted had revealed that there are soldiers in the entire Ada and not Songor alone.
According to Nene Ada, he requested for the security to guard the people constructing the roads prior to the Asafotu festival.
However, it emerged that most of the Chiefs around the lagoon are claiming they haven’t been informed of the coming into their communities by soldiers hence the attack on McDan.
