Anambra State Joint Enforcement Team, ANJET, has demolished a one-storey building illegally erected At Federal Housing Estate Trans-Nkisi, Onitsha North Council Area.
Government House Correspondent, Ejike Abana reports that the exercise was in continuation of its enforcement exercise to enthrone a saner and livable environment.
The demolished one-storey building, situated at the entrance of Amos Best Street and built for commercial activities by landlords’ association, was encroaching on the street.
A petition had earlier been brought against the illegal structure after which a notice of removal was served.
The developers did not only fail to comply but also threatened to deal with the enforcement team mercilessly if they dare come close to the building.
Speaking to newsmen at the site, the leader of ANJET, Mr. Collins Enebeli, emphasized that government will no longer condone the menace of the landlords, who erect illegal structures along public roads.
According to him, the exercise is in line with Governor Soludo’s Campaign promise of getting rid of illegal structures in the state so as to achieve his aim of making the state a livable, prosperous green home land.
Mr. Enebeli called on the developers to desist from building illegal structures in the state so as to avoid sanctions which in many cases are costly.
Officials of the Physical Planning Board, among others were also part of the enforcement team that embarked on the exercise.
