Fortunately, the gallant NSDC
personnel overpowered the angry mob, creating a safe and secure atmosphere for
the ACTDA officials to carry out their duty. The operation marked a massive
success as goods worth millions of naira were burned and completely destroyed,
serving as a deterrent to others.
The areas visited included the
dual-carriage Unizik-Isuaniocha Road, Club Road, and Regina Ceali Road,
respectively. The management of the Awka Capital Territory Development
Authority (ACTDA) had earlier issued repeated warnings, providing ample time
for those erecting shanties and engaging in unlawful activities along the roads
in Awka, particularly under high tension, to cease their actions that
contribute significantly to defacing the aesthetics of the Awka Capital City.
Despite the authority's
warnings, the defiant individuals unfortunately continued their unlawful
activities, notably the resurfacing of street traders along the newly
constructed roads. The authority reaffirmed its unwavering commitment to an
ongoing campaign against street traders involved in the illegal display and
marketing of goods at prohibited locations, causing obstruction and gridlock
within the city.
They issued a stern warning to
those engaging in these illegal activities to desist immediately, evacuate
their goods, or face more severe consequences for their inactions.
