Seplat Energy JV on Tuesday denied encroaching on land belonging to Abigborodo and Obotie communities in Warri North and Sapele Local Government Area in Delta State.
A statement from Stanley Opara, the manager of corporate Communications, External Affairs and Social Performance in Benin, described the accusations as baseless and untrue.
Mr Opara said that Seplat host communities in the area were Ugbukurusu and Sapele-Okpe and not Abigborodo and Obotie communities.
