People living near Church of Pentecost have started fighting against a fuel station project again. The residents believe the construction threatens their safety and homes. They asked government officials to stop the work back during 2023. Workers keep building at night even after authorities told them to quit. Local people wore red clothes and marched through streets on May 29 to protest.

The construction blocks water flow and floods nearby houses when rain falls. Water cannot move through its normal paths and fills up people's yards. A second fence makes the flooding problems even worse. An electricity transformer sits close to the building site and might get damaged. Residents want officials to move the power equipment to a safer location.

Regional Minister James Gunu visited the area and told workers to stop building. The Chief Coordinating Director also came to see the problems. Officials sent a letter during November 2023 ordering local agencies to protect public safety. Construction workers have threatened residents who complain about the dangerous project. Young people promise to tear down the fuel station if building continues.
