Hon Ezenwa Francis Onyewuchi, Member representing Owerri Federal Constituency Condemn The Demolition of Eke UKwu Owerri by Rochas Okorocha

PRESS STATEMEN

26 August 2017

I, Hon Ezenwa Francis Onyewuchi, Member representing Owerri Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives condemn in the strongest terms the gestapo-like operation and demolition of Owerri ancestral market, The Eke-Ukwu Owerri, today, leading to the loss of innocent lives.

This action by Governor Rochas Okorocha without an alternative accommodation and compensation in the face of current economic difficulties is most inhuman and anti people.

This demolition in spite of a subsisting court order to say the least is a provocative affront on the peace loving people of Owerri, which will be resisted using all lawful means available.

While calling on our people to remain peaceful and law abiding, I call on the President and Commander-In-Chief of the Armed Forces President Muhammadu Buhari to call Governor Okorocha to order. I also call on

Governor Rochas Okorocha to halt the demolition, pay compensation to owners of properties already destroyed and apologize to Owerri People.

Let me also convey my heartfelt condolences to the families that have lost their loved ones in this mindless exercise and assure them that they will get justice.

Thank you and may God bless us all.

Hon. Ezenwa Onyewuchi

(Ebubedike II)
