The Kaduna State Protection Authority (KEPA) on Saturday rejected the Kaduna Refinery and Petrol-chemical Company (KRPC) report on alleged dumping of Toxic Waste at the neigbouring Rido community in Kaduna.<\/p>\n
The General Manager of KEPA, Alhaji Aminu Sani, told newsmen that the report which stated that the authority had exonerated the refinery from the controversial toxic waste dump was false.<\/p>\n
Sani said no official report was released by KEPA regarding the issue.<\/p>\n
He said the Confirmatory Laboratory Analysis Test on the toxic waste was still ongoing.<\/p>\n
Sani denied the reports published in the dailies, adding: \u201cthey were false and were not officially obtained from KEPA.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn the letter we presented to the NNPC\/KRPC, KEPA did not state that it has exonerated anyone involved in the issue because sample test on the toxic waste was inconclusive.\u201d<\/p>\n
Reacting to the issue, the Kaduna NNPC\/KRPC Public Relations Manager, Alhaji Idris Abdullahi, said that the authority issued a signed letter stating that \u201cThe NNPC\/KRPC has been exonerated from the alleged toxic waste dump at Rido Community.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe were surprised when KEPA told us that they are withdrawing their letter on the issue.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
