Nnewi—A middle aged woman (names withheld) reportedly slumped and died in Ugwuachalla Ikenga village, Ogidi, Idemili North Local Government Area, Anambra State, when Physical Planning Board, ANSPPB, marked her house for demolition, weekend.
Ten others are also said to be hospitalised following the storming of the areas by officials of ANSPPB, who allegedly marked their buildings and 500 others for demolition. The victim was said to have collapsed and died after signing the ANSPPB order handed over to her by officials of the agency, who stormed the area with armed policemen and local vigilance groups, as they embarked on marking buildings for demolition with red ink.
Vanguard gathered that in each house, the owner was forced to sign a removal/demolition order letter signed by the Executive Secretary of ANSPPB, Mr. Ben Nwafor, notifying them that they have 14 days to remove whatever structure they erected in the said area.
A resident, Mr. Paul Okoye, expressed surprise over the manner they stormed the area, adding “we have lived here a long time after our forefathers. From the manner they were ordering us to sign the document and to ensure we vacate the area within 14 days, we thought they were the dreaded Islamic religious sect, Boko Haram.”
Contacted, the ANSPPB Executive Secretary said: “The land, measuring about 500 plots, were earmarked for stadium development, but because government did not commence its development earlier, the people started selling the land. “Governor Willie Obiano, through the Sports Ministry, ordered for the demolition of the structures erected there.”

She probably died of heart attack. Not everyone has shock absorber. Most especially someone of her age bracket.

Na wa o

Nobody should blame obiano o. Those mofos knew that the place was mapped out by the state government for stadium. Next time when you want to buy land go to ministry of land and enquire.

Forced to sign a removal/demolition order letter signed by the Executive Secretary of ANSPPB?

This is getting interesting.
I tot IPOB r lovely people because i schooled there,so y d sudden change?

Ugandans won't talk now...if na rochas dem go shout

Rubbish

Sad but necessary for the greater good of the State.


For illegal Structures, NO COMPENSATION SHOULD BE PAID.


For those being taken by the Government please pay the adequate compensation. This economy no easy for person to lose ehn shelter ontop this hardship.

ok

Eeyah. RIP mam

14days too bad. but think of it they must have been warning them, people always ignore the warning of the government.

Okay

so everyone has shock absorber
Just like rag draining water

ALL ARE RESULTS OF AN UNPLANNED ECONOMY.

THEY INTEND TO USE THE SITE FOR STADIUM BUT THEY DID NOT VENTURE IT AT THE PLANNED TIME AND THEY LEFT THE LAND OPEN TO ECONOMIC DESPERADOES WHO WENT ABOUT SELLING THE LAND WHILE THE GOVERNMENT WATCHES FROM AFAR.

WHEN THEY KNEW THE STUCTURES ARE NOW IN PLACE TO DISPLACE THEIR INITIAL AGENDA, THEY NOW ANNOUNCE THAT THEY ARE READY TO BUILD THEIR STADIUM.

Most Anambarians were screaming APC is wicked when Rochas did the same thing

Hopefully, no one wud blame Okorocha again.

Pity. In this kind of economy, a lot of people are about to face a great deal of hardship. The Government should be held responsible though. It shouldn't have ended with warning them it was Government land earlier (if that was even done, and that's a big if), nobody should have been allowed to build houses there in the first place.
Surely that couldn't have been too difficult to enforce.

Easy o Obiano!

This is really sad, I feel for them. The economy is so hard for this kind of news.

Nigerians hav suffered enough now

[size=14pt]THE FUNNY THING IS THAT THE SAME PEOPLE THAT CRITICIZE OKOROCHA WILL PRAISE OBIANO FOR THIS AND SAY IT IS FOR THE GOOD OF THIS STATE. THE ONLY OFFENSE OF OKOROCHA IS JUST BECAUSE HE IS IN APC FINISH.
