The regent made the denial, while speaking with a cross section of newsmen on phone, explaining that there was no iota of truth in the rumour.
Alhaji Adewuyi’s positon came as some people in the town went and destroyed properties at the plant, over alleged lack of compensation.
It was learnt that some motorcyclists were reportedly killed in a clash among commercial motorcyclist in Yewa North Local Government Area of the state.
The clash, which started on Monday, snowballed into an ethnic crisis between the Hausa and the Yoruba on Tuesday, leaving no fewer than three people dead with about 12 motorcycles burnt.
It was gathered that the motorcyclists operating at Dangote Cement Factory junction at Ibese were at loggerheads with the union leaders over a hike in ticket fees from N600 to N800.
But speaking with newsmen on phone, the regent who said elders of the town were on top of the situation, noted that the mayhem had nothing to do with Ibese People and Dangote Cement PLC.
“Be informed that it was miscreants who hijacked the chaotic situation, setting Dangote’s property ablaze” he posited, noting that they have commenced moves to arrest the miscreants and bring them to book.
