Illegal Structures Demolished In Onitsha And Environs At Expiration Of Notice

CHRISTIAN ABURIME

Following the expiration of the notice served on developers and building owners who built several illegal structures along the waterway in Fegge and environs within Onitsha, since April 2022, more than two months ago, Anambra State Government has commenced demolition of such illegal structures.

The exercise, which is being carried out by a joint government task force, commenced from Bida Road by Modebe Avenue, Fegge Onitsha.

The affected buildings included Mountain of Holy Ghost Intervention Deliverance Ministries, shops and other perimeter fences.

The structures were marked since April, 2022 and all developers and building owners served notice to remove them.

The government stated that the demolition exercise is not targeted at any particular persons or groups.

It was rather in line with the move to recover the master plan of Onitsha and other cities in the state that have been serially abused and turned to slums.

The government assured builders and developers on appropriate sites to go about their normal businesses without fear of molestation.
