Lamu locals sue over displacement ahead of refinery launch
Founder and Chief Executive of the Dangote Group Aliko Dangote gestures during an interview with Reuters in his office in Lagos, Nigeria on June 13, 2012.
More than 100 residents of Chandavai in Lamu have accused the government of displacing them from their ancestral land to pave the way for major infrastructure projects, including the proposed Dangote East Africa Refinery.
The 133 residents of Mvinjeni claim that expansion of the projects has resulted in the destruction of their homes, crops, trees and other property, leaving them without a resettlement plan and turning them into internally displaced persons.
