Members of Yolan-Bayara community situated behind Bayara General Hospital, in Birshi Ward of Miri District in Bauchi Local Government Area of Bauchi State, have kicked against the state government’s plan to allocate 50 hectares of land to the Christian Association of Nigeria for the Christian Cemetery.
In a petition addressed to the Bauchi State Governor, Bala Mohammed, copies of which were made available to journalists during a press conference on Sunday, the community called for an “urgent intervention to avert the occurrence of communal clash.”
They said they were reliably informed that the state government has made all arrangements to pay compensation to members of the Christian community for the acquisition of the land that does not belong to them.
