Anambra demolishes illegal structures in Onitsha
AFTER several warnings against erecting structures and trading
at unauthorised places, Governor Peter Obi of Anambra State yesterday
personally supervised the demolition of illegal structures along the
Upper Iweka dual carriageway Onitsha and its environs.
Traders, who arrived their business locations as early as 6.30 a.m. along Upper Iweka Road were shocked, as they battled to salvage some of their handy belongings from being thrown away as the task force demolished their structures.
Even some traders in the affected areas who spoke to The Guardian confirmed that as early as 5.00 a.m., soldiers and other security agents had taken over the area before the arrival of the governor at 6.30 a.m.
Obi, who addressed the business community during the exercise, warned that the era of preaching to residents to keep the environment clean was over.
