ACTDA Dislodges Illicit Drug Hub In Awka

By Ukpa Ewa I Ministry of Information

The Awka Capital Territory Development Authority (ACTDA) enforcement team in collaboration with Anambra State Vigilante Group (AVG) has on April 4, took a decisive action to dislodge illegal occupants from an uncompleted building at Amawbia Express intended for use as a hotel due to concerns over threats and nuisances to the surrounding environment.

Prompted by a surge in drugs peddling and other illicit enterprises within the environment, officials of the two combined teams acted swiftly to dislodge approximately 300 individuals hailing from Kano, Taraba, Kogi, Adamawa and various other states, who had unlawfully occupied the structure.

Addressing Journalists in Amawbia, Anambra State, the Commander of Awka Capital Territory Development Authority, Mr. Ugochukwu Nwimo, said that there are urgent need for intervention, citing rampant illegal enterprises and public nuisance perpetrated by the occupants.

Nwimo, who said that there was prior warnings and 14 days eviction notice to the illegal occupants of the structure, they persisted in their nefarious activities, hence, a comprehensive response from authorities.

Speaking on the need to maintain law and order in the capital city, Mr Nwimo said that contact with the owner of the building showed his lack of knowledge regarding the unauthorized tenants, underscoring the urgency of the situation.

In his words, "Efforts are underway to ensure the safety and well-being of children and women found in the premises. while measures are being taken to prevent similar situations in the future" he said.

When inquired by the newsmen on the arrangement of the occupants of the uncompleted building, a private security man from Adamawa State, Muhammed Garba who oversees the premises, clarified that the owner of the building had no knowledge of the illegal occupants.

Garba, who said that he accommodated them based on brotherhood and tribal affection, acknowledged that there was nefarious activities ongoing within and around the area, but insisted he has never been part of such act, nor has any arrangement whatsoever in constituting public nuisance.

Residents who spoke to newsmen on condition of anonymity, expressed gratitude for ACTDA's intervention, applauding the restoration of order and the eradication of the criminal hub.

They unanimously acknowledged the persistent security and social challenges posed by the presence of those occupants and welcomed the decisive action taken by authorities to restore sanity to the state.

Yarimo should find real accommodation if he wants to stay in Alaigbo. Chikena.

Ok oo so it's illegal now

Pity for them. Honestly life is not fair to some people..

Naija my country.

Unfortunately, these type of Northerners
bring nothing but poverty & trouble from their
home states to the Southern states.

They travel from the north in trailers and
lorries.

When they land, they don't have the
resources to rent houses and therefore
erect shanties or occupy abandoned or
uncompleted buildings.

They do not take any form of transport,
but walk all over the town & don't
patronize any form of restaurants.

Next thing, some amongst them begin
stealing while some involve in religious
fanaticism...


Their northern leaders, like Buhari, etc have destroyed the north and they are cowed
by their religious tenets not to criticize
or hold their leaders accountable for
anything❗️❗️❗️😡😡😡

Why did u use the word northern? Because u want to be mischievous right?

Long overdue. Thank God government is awake now

They should all go back to their states

Aboki on a normal no dey build house, na for inside bush or sometimes inside leather, u go hear cow dey moan for night

Instead of suffering in another man's state, they should quietly return to their state. This one na better suffer.

They should go home if they can't afford to secure decent accomodations in their host communities! It's really an eyesore when you see them cramped up in their numbers in these uncompleted buildings, right in the heart of the city!

Tomorrow the nomads will claim victims and Apes from APC will twist the story

Tueh

The Op is bigot, the majority of comments here smells bigotry. The east is only the region that smells badly of bigotry,this is why you hardly read a tribal related news from other regions.
Infact in southwest the owner will see this as helping the less privileged...God bless the Yoruba man,we are not that heartless.
The Igbos can do that to their keen talkless of an Aboki.....Igbo Amaka

Build your own house and relocate them.

These animals don't pay rent anywhere. They believe in inhabiting anywhere for free.

Northern victimisation in the East lol

This one small. Around lgando they occupy any uncompleted building without fence and gate.

Instead they look at the southerner and start hating him for the life he has...next thing is kidnapping and religious killings. Such people should stay in their villages and cities up north, but no, they keep screaming One Nigeria

Head slamming has been shown to dull brain activity significantly. So sad to see black Africans slamming their craniums repeatedly on the floor every day of the week to appease a dead Arabic pedophile prophet with a taste for human blood.
