Keeping to his words to restore Onitsha to its former glory, governor of Anambra State, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo has started massive demolition of illegal structures in Onitsha with the demolition of Odumeje’s Church this morning.
Recall ANAMBRA PEOPLE had on the 15th of March, 2022 reported that the then governor-elect planned to remove all illegal structures and demolish buildings on flood channels in the state. Other churches, industries, residential buildings, etc. built along flood channels like Sakamori, Nwangene stream, Otumoye and other areas would be pulled down soon. Some of the structures at Zik’s avenue, fegge , Ochanja market, Biafran market and Main market Onitsha have been penciled for demolition.
Message to Chukwuma Charles Soludo
Am using this media to write to Anambra state government to withdraw his men from demolishing the property belonging to intervention ministry, prophet chukwuemeka odumeje (founder)
What you should be fighting now; is to create security, job empowerment, on how to better Anambra and not a demolishing state.
Rt Charles Anwah.
This is misplaced priority & executive lawlessness as far as I am concerned!! Where was the govt when the church was being erected? Were the owners of the affected buildings carried along in this exercise & how will they be compensated? Soludo should take it easy please!!
Excellent development! Enough of the arrant lawlessness. All illegal structures in the state should be demolished with immediate effect. The government can consider offering compensations to those who were tricked into obtaining the illegal land spaces. Chukwu dube gi, Prof!
Why was Odumeje roughly manhandled? . Why was his church building demolished with all the furnitures, air conditioners and other hardwares intact?. Was he Duly notified to at least salvage some of his belongings before demolition?
Was beating part of their mandate?
The actions of the task force officials were too barbaric for my liking.
Do you think he wasn’t notified before the commencement of the demolition?
Since March 15th 2022, he failed to relocate nor reach an agreement with the government, rather he apparently he deemed himself untouchable.
