On Wednesday, the Awka Capital Territory Development Agency (ACTDA) demolished a shrine and several illegal structures behind the State Government House in Awka.
The exercise, which began at 9:47am, was supervised by the Agency’s Enforcement Chief, Mr. Okonkwo Ukachukwu.
The demolished shrine was a place of worship for some residents in the area. However, the government did not comment on the specific reasons for the demolition.
The exercise also extended to other parts of the state capital, where illegal structures marked with warning notices by the agency were destroyed.
Some traders expressed disappointment at the loss of their businesses, while others supported the government’s move to enforce urban development regulations.
