The building under construction is also under an Electricity pole owned by the Jos Electricity company.
A citizen of the community Mr Chuks Peter who spoke to newsmen in Jos lamented the act being carried out by Mr Emmanuel lamenting how would someone build on the road leading to a community.
Mr Peter said several elders of the community had intervened and called on Mr Emmanuel to stop the construction of the building but to no avail.
The road in which Emmanuel is currently building was given to the community by a Yourba man who was the then owner of the plot before he sold it out years ago, in which Mr. Emmanuel who was an agent now is claiming ownership of the road.
Our correspondent who was at the community observed that the lockup shops been constructed by Mr Emmanuel is been constructed under a PHCN Pole.
“We urge relevant authorities to intervene, the communities members told our correspondent “.
Efforts to reach Mr Emmanuel on his phone number 08039300968 were abortive as he was not picking up his call.
