The Anambra State Government has clarified why it demolished the church building of controversial Prophet Chukwuemeka Ohanaemere, popularly known as Prophet Odumeje.
TheNewsGuru.com (TNG) reports the clarification was made in a statement by the Chief Press Secretary to Governor Charles Soludo, Christian Aburime.
According to the statement, Prophet Odumeje failed to comply with the State government’s directive to remove illegal structures he built on the waterway.
Recall that Odumeje’s church building was in March this year identified by the government as one of the buildings sitting on drainage channels, and marked for demolition, in line with Onitsha Urban Renewal Plan spearheaded by Soludo-led administration.
The statement reads: “Following the expiration of the more than two weeks notice beginning from April 2022 served on developers and building owners who built several illegal structures along the waterway in Fegge and environs within Onitsha, Anambra state government has begun demolition of such structures.
“The exercise which is being carried out by a joint government task force, commenced the exercise from Bida Road by Modebe Avenue, Fegge Onitsha.
“The affected buildings include 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 were served notice to remove such illegal structures”.
