The bridge at the Children’s Amusement Park located
at the Ikemba Ojukwu Centre in Owerri, Imo, built by
Gov. Rochas Okorocha’s administration has collapsed.


Witnesses at the scene told the News Agency of
Nigeria (NAN) in Owerri on Wednesday that nobody
was killed or injured in the incident.

The incident which caused pandemonium in the area,
gave room for criticism by some parents whose
children visited the place on May 27 during the 2018
Children’s Day Celebration.

A NAN Correspondent, who visited the scene, reports
that the incident occurred after a heavy downpour on
Tuesday night.

The bridge, being a major tourism site, has been used
to generate funds for the state government.

When contacted, the State Commissioner for Happiness and Purpose Fulfillment, Mrs Ogechi Ololo, told NAN that she had yet to be briefed on the cause of the incident.

Mr Collins Ibe, who witnessed the incident, told NAN
that the windstorm that accompanied the downpour
might be responsible for the collapsed of the bridge.
Another witness, Mrs Mary Nlemadim, said: “It is
unfortunate that this is happening in the state,
especially at a place that is supposed to be a
recreation centre.

“I thank God that it happened in the night when people
were not around; otherwise, there might have been
casualties.

“I urge the state government and engineers working on
construction projects in the state to be more dedicated
and thorough,” she said.

Also, an Engineer, Mr Okechukwu Uba said: “There is
need to critically look at all the construction projects
going on in the state.

“This is necessary to avoid unnecessary waste of
resources, time and human capacity.

“These projects need to get proper approval from
professional hands or bodies; they also need to be
properly supervised by qualified and experienced
personnel.

“Again, they have to be done systematically and not
many things at the same time.

“These projects need to be finished up in a tidy manner
and subjected to stress tests where necessary, before
being opened to the public,’’ he said.

NAN reports that the state Chairman of the Nigeria
Society of Engineers, Mr Emeka Ugoanyawu, had
earlier warned against substandard engineering work
in the state.

Also, the National President of Council for the
Regulation of Engineers in Nigeria (COREN) Mr Kashim
Ali, had recently faulted the quality of a flyover
constructed by the Okorocha administration, located at
Orji.

Ali, as a matter of urgency, urged Gov. Okorocha, to
stop work on the flyover.

Hope no one got hurt.

Rochas brought APC's scam to Imo State. Come 2019, their demonic brooms will be used to sweep them straight to Atacama desert.

That's definitely not a bridge

The bridges and roads Okorocha built are all collapsing even before he will finish his tenure but the Statues all remain, WHY?
