The officials of the Onitsha South Local Government Area, Anambra State on Thursday sealed off a motor park located inside the National Inland Water Ways Authority, River Niger Bridgehead, Onitsha over heaps of refuse dump.
The sealing created some tension around the area as the council officials forcefully dragged out all the passengers and their luggages from commercial vehicles loading inside the park, as well as the operators and workers at the park.
Orji told journalists at the scene that he personally came to the park about six weeks ago to advice the park operators to evacuate the refuse heaps, but they did not heed the advice. As the officials were carrying out the sealing, the park operator, Ngozi Okpagu, quickly rushed to the scene but could no longer gain entrance into the park because the gate had been sealed off.
