Indabosky: Why we demolished Odumeje’s Church – Gov. Soludo

Anambra State governor, Charles Soludo, has explained why his government pulled down the church building of Prophet Chukwuemeka Ohaneme, famously known as Odumeje.

In a press statement signed on his behalf by his Chief Press Secretary, Christian Aburime, Governor Soludo said Odumeje’s church and other buildings marked for demolition failed to comply with the government directive to remove the illegal structure built on waterway.

The statement added that the action became necessary following the expiration of the more than two weeks notice beginning from April 2022 served on developers and building owners who built several illegal structures along the waterway in Fegge and environs within Onitsha.

The exercise, which is being carried out by a joint government task force, commenced from Bida Road by Modebe Avenue, Fegge Onitsha.

The affected buildings include Mountain of Holy Ghost Intervention Deliverance Ministries, which is owned by Prophet Odumeje, shops and other perimeter fences

The structures were marked since April, 2022 and all developers and building owners were served notice to remove such illegal structures’.
