Land owners ransack Axiom camp at Kolosori

By ELLIOT DAWEA | April 19, 2016

DISGRUNTLED LANDOWNERS have ransacked Axiom camp at Kolosori in Isabel after the Court of Appeal decision ruled in their favour.
The Court Of Appeal decision made its ruling on the Kolosori Tenement between Sumitomo and Axiom KB.
Reports from Sumitomo office reveals landowners from Tatamba to Leleghia congregated at the former Axiom camps at Tanabusu and Kolosori and helped themselves to whatever goods and equipment before onlooking Axiom Staff.
The Court of Appeal decision was welcomed by the landowners of Kolosori land and the general public of Isabel, both those living on Islabel and those living abroad.
They are all grateful at Sumitomo for spending its own money to take up this court case enabling suspicious land registration procedures to be revoked.
As such they are strongly of the opinion that Axiom has been operating illegally on their land for the last five years therefore it must pay for the damages it has caused to their land.
A compensation worth millions in (SBD) has been forwarded to Axiom.
As a result of this claim the landowners have blocked the shipment of company’s equipment especially vehicles and other machines when a landing craft arrived during Good Friday morning to load the equipment.
This led to a near-confrontation between the landowners and the employees of the landing craft.
The last of the Axiom staff employees left the camp on the landing craft.
A similar action was imposed on the logging activity that was also carried out by Axiom KB on the licenced areas.
The logging had proceeded without any timber rights hearing since the land was “registered”.
The Court of Appeal decision has been highly commended along with Sumitomo for enabling the land to be returned to the rightful customary landowners.
Customary landowners are holding onto the logging equipment and unshipped logs until their compensation demands are paid by Axiom.
The landowners of Kolosori landowners have vowed not to repeat such practice again with such investors who they may deem as dubious.
They appeal to the national government to ensure that such mining activities do not happen again on their land.
Meanwhile, the landowners are looking forward to the reimbursements of their expenses, incurred throughout the litigation, from High Court to the Court of Appeal.
“This is going to be a substantial amount of money,” said one prominent landowner.
