The Anambra State Joint Taskforce has demolished an illegal structure at Electrical Market Obosi.
The building was demolished because it was built on one of the access roads into the market, as a result, the market’s access road has now been reclaimed.
Speaking to the ABS on the development, the leader of the joint taskforce and Chairman of Anambra state Physical Planning Board, Barrister Chike Maduekwe, explained that sometime last year, a report came from the market about an individual who was building on the access road in the market.
This he stated led to an investigation after which it was discovered that the structure was built on government land blocking the road.
He pointed out that the illegal developer continued building after several warnings hence the enforcement, restating that the Governor Chukwuma Soludo-led government has not come to oppress or cause hardship to Ndi Anambra but rather to put things in order and so will not tolerate lawlessness in its mandate of building a livable, green and prosperous homeland.
The Chairman of the market, Mr. Johnbosco Onunkwo, expressed satisfaction over the enforcement and appreciated the Governor for giving the access roads back to the market.
He expressed optimism that the enforcement exercise will serve as deterrent to those who go about the market building illegal structures.
While commending members of the joint taskforce for their commitment to using their good office to restore law and order to the state, Mr Onunkwo, advised developers to desist from such unlawful acts to avoid economic waste as the present government will not condone illegal structures in any part of the state.
