The President General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide, Chief Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu, has condemned the demolition of properties valued at over N11 billion belonging to Prince Nicholas Ukachukwu by the Federal Capital Territory Administration, led by the Minister, Nyesom Wike.
He spoke when leaders of the Igbo Community Assembly paid him a visit in his office in Abuja. Ukachukwu had accused Wike of ordering the demolition without any court order despite two pending valid court orders from separate courts stopping him and the FCT administration from tampering with the property. The Anambra-born businessman called on President Bola Tinubu to intervene and save the multi-million-naira invested in the property.
'Anyone who invests billions of Naira in Abuja surely does so because they believe in the unity of Nigeria and are dedicated to its prosperity. This is a matter of concern for me.' Chief Iwuanyanwu appealed to the Igbo Community Assembly Abuja to cancel the one-week deadline given to the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, and suspend any further action until the matter was resolved. 'Do not proceed with any demonstrations, as they could lead to violence, loss of life, and property damage.
