Some residents of Abavana Junction within Kotobabi in the Ayawaso Central Municipality and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) are on a collision course over the construction of a fuel station in the vicinity.
While the EPA has said the siting of the facility was in compliance with required proximity to public buildings, the residents insist their lives and property were being put in danger.
The disagreement between the two parties, who have held stakeholder meetings since September last year, manifested yesterday when officials of EPA undertook a site verification visit in an attempt to put the matter to rest.
