After an on-the-spot visit to the trending Ochanja road to ascertain the veracity of the viral video, the following facts are hereby presented:
— That the video did not capture the actual portion of the road, which is less than two (2) feet.
— That the road in question is an active construction site, and work is seriously ongoing, even as of yesterday, Monday, March 25, 2024.
— The portion of Ochanja Road was asphalted yesterday and couldn’t cure and stabilize properly before the downpour.
— That the cause of the heavy water body that affected the less than 2 feet of the asphalted portion was a silted drainage.
— The stone base alone on that portion of the road, and indeed the long stretch of the entire road is solid and very much intact.
— The creator of the video grossly exaggerated the situation by showing portions of a different road that is not under construction.
— That the ongoing road has not been completed and commissioned by the government of Prof. Charles Chukwuma Soludo CFR.
— That only the Port Harcourt Road and Niger Street Road have been commissioned by Governor Soludo in Onitsha South LGA, and they are very firm and solid.
— The story is, at best, a deliberate distortion and overbloating of reality by mischief makers.
