Despite no EIA, bulldozing starts on the 'superhighway'. This breaks Nigerian Federal law (the Nigerian Federal EIA Decree of 1992).

​The situation today is frightening. A bulldozer was sent to Ekuri  four days ago to commence work, but the Ekuri people did not co-operate with the operators. They were denied accommodation in the community and casual workers to support their work. Just yesterday the bulldozer was removed from Ekuri to Etara/Eyeyen communities sister communities to Ekuri, and massive destruction is going on there now. Women and Children are lamenting the lost of their farms without hope for compensation.
The operators are planning to penetrate Ekuri forest through Etara-Eyeyen.
We need to as a matter of urgency explore the fastest strategy to get the federal government of Nigeria call governor Ayade to order, and also move our campaign faster to other forest communities who are on the waiting list for destruction.
We will keep on fighting till we can fight no more. for the Ekuri people losing our forest means losing our existence
we sincerely thank all those who have been in this struggle with us. without your support we would have been strangled in this struggle.
Best regards
Martins Egot
