Ebonyi Quarry Owners Shut Down Operations over Detention of Chairman

Consolidated Quarry Owners Association in Ebonyi State, has stopped operation following the alleged arrest of its Chairman, Chikaodiri Ojimba.
Ojimba was reportedly arrested on Saturday by the police on the instruction of an Agent Company over his refusal to remit the government money into a private account.
