The Chairman of the Senate Committee on Rules and Business, Senator Ita Enang has said the Supreme Court’s ruling in July in the case of the seventy oil wells jointly claimed by Cross River and Akwa Ibom states, did not cede the oil wells to Akwa Ibom because the wells were already within Akwa Ibom’s territory.
Senator Enang who was speaking on our breakfast show, Sunrise Daily, said with the ceding of the Bakassi Peninsula to Cameroon, Cross River had become land locked and was no longer a littoral state.
