The government of Anambra State South-east Nigeria has come out to explain why it commenced the demolition of illegally constructed buildings earlier marked for demolition in Onitsha. The demolition, which affected a building owned by a popular prophet Chukwuemeka Ohanaemere aka Liquid Metal has raised all sorts of dusts on social media.
The Press Secretary to Governor Chukwuma Soludo of Anambra, Mr Christian Aburime, disclosed this in a statement made available to journalists in Awka on Thursday. The press secretary said that several illegal structures along the waterways in Fegge and environs of Onitsha would be pulled down.
“The exercise which began from Bida Road by Modebe Avenue, Fegge, Onitsha, is expected to be extended to other parts of the town.” He said that the team handling the demolition began the work at Fegge area of Onitsha following the expiration of the more than two month’s notice served developers and building owners in April this year.
Some of the buildings affected were the security and generator houses of Prophet Chukwuemeka Ohanaemere of Mountain of Holy Ghost Intervention Deliverance Ministries, Onitsha aka Odumeje.
