 Following the crisis rocking different communities in 25 local government areas of Delta State, Governor Ifa Nyokowa has signed a new law to checkmate the activities of community development associations in the state. Attorney General and Commissioner of Justice Isaiah Bozimo made the statement while addressing newsmen in Nassaba, the state capital. Bozimo said over time the CDA issue has created a major problem in different communities and has led to lots of lives and properties. To ensure that there is no disagreement or factionalisation within a particular community development association, speaking of factionalisation the law also now penalises and criminalises any factionalisation. So it is now illegal to have a faction operating. So once the CDA submits its constitution it submits the offices that constitute that association. It cannot now turn its back and say we now disagree and we are going to bring the rival faction. So the law prescribes that and really if these things arise then the Ministry of Women Affairs is there to superintend. So if for instance there are any disagreements or any differences between members of a particular community before it graduates into a dispute we expect them to come to us and say we haven't as different please mediate between us.
