Armed National Security forces storm Panbros Salt to aid Chinese national claim disputed land
Armed national security officers and police have stormed Panbros Salt Industries Limited to assist in the seizure of a portion of the company’s salt pans.
The land in dispute is reportedly being claimed by a Chinese investor who intends to convert the area into a real estate development.
The contested portion of the salt pans is located within the Weija Ramsar site, a government-protected wetland area.
The move has sparked concerns over environmental preservation and the legality of converting the ecologically sensitive land into commercial property.
Authorities are currently on-site to ensure that the seizure is carried out without incident, while the matter remains under investigation.
