Breaking News: Tension, Tears In Owerri Over Market Demolition (pictures&videos) by UzuegbuProsper(m): 11:45am On Aug 26, 2017
There is tension in Owerri, Imo State capital right now, to the extent that could be felt in the air.

It is over the roll of the government demolition machines into the Owerri Main Market on Douglas Road.

It is also gathered cum realized that the notice for that action has been posted and the traders and natives kept vigil in the market while some traders did the much they can to rescue some of their movable valuables.

However, early this morning, the government demolition team arrived and descended on the market with fury that has led to tears and agony.

There is also unconfirmed rumours that a 12-year-old boy has been caught down in an untargeted bullet allegedly from armed government officers that accompanied the demolition team in anticipation of resistance by the traders.

A major shopping plaza that signposts the market as t now is already pulled down completely.

More details later

It will be a miracle if apc ever wins imo state again but on the other hand, one can never trust the nigerian majority as they exhibit short memory. If these ppl are given 3000 each they may eventually be praising rochas in the next election

God bless Rocha's. That road where the market is has caused a lot of havoc. The demolition will make the govt expand the road and ease traffic.

Rocha's is indeed a man with a lion heart. Imo must be great again.

Is this all you have to say? Nigeria must really be a Zoo like the igbos say oooo. Human life has no value in this country. May God console the family of the boy.

It's quite unfortunate that it turned out this way. But Rochas have earlier informed them to relocate to a new market he built for them (yet to confirm if it's complete) with the excuse that he wants to expand the road.

In my former city before a major project like this is carried out a vote is taken in city hall. If the majority (those that are directly affected) says no the city council will back off. Unless there is security and public health concerns then the city might seek legal action to upturn the wishes of the city dwellers.

After all we are talking about traffic, who is going to feel it most if not these same people?

Fact still remains that the armed services in Nigeria lack the skill to engage the civilian population with zero or minimal casualty thus resulting in needless deaths from the barrel of the guns of the very people who ought to protect the civilians. Gov. Okorocha and the armed forces cannot escape culpability for the death of this young boy.

I've always maintained, before you tell people to leave their market place, give them a place to stay. Its very simple. Don't just misuse your power because of few to the detriment of many. Worst still, Rochas might not even complete this project he's trying to start because he's known for abandoned project.

This can only happen in a country where demons and tyrants are elected into government under d platform of one stupid delusional change and when baboons are recruited into armed force,the only thing they can deliver is chaos and penury, but I know that GOD will punished everybody that is making life uncomfortable for we Nigerian IN JESUS NAME

it will be hard to rig Imo again in 2019.

Obama is no longer President.

Use wat happened in Rivers to correct urself.

I am certain APC is now finished in Imo.

They are going back to PDP like Abia, Ebonyi and Enugu not even APGA.

Okoroausa was a disaster.
