Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Governor Charles Soludo of Anambra State has come under fire following the destruction of goods belonging to petty traders in Awka, the state capital on Monday.<\/p>\n

There was a massive destruction of traders\u2019 wares on Oby Okoli and Abakiliki Streets by officials of Awka Capital Territory Development Agency (ACTDA).<\/p>\n

The said streets are currently witnessing Soludo\u2019s touch, and are being dualised, reason street traders are being chased away from the area.<\/p>\n

Monday\u2019s destruction of wares was gathered to have been supervised by the Managing Director of ACTDA, Mr Ossy Onuko.<\/p>\n

A victim, Ukamaka Eze, who provided video evidence of the destruction of wares, said: \u201cUnlike other times when they used to confiscate people\u2019s goods, today\u2019s own (Monday), they confiscated and immediately set them ablaze.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think Soludo is heartless if he actually sent those people. We are complaining of hardship and how we can survive, and here, they are burning our goods. This is unfair.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another trader in the area who identified himself as Ejimofor said: \u201cThey have been shooting guns here.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey are shameless people. Old women who are selling food condiments, they just destroyed their goods, and when people wanted to intervene, they started shooting.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think Soludo does not know what these people are doing, because this was not what he promised us.\u201d<\/p>\n

Made attempts to reach Onuko on the allegations, his phone number was not reachable.<\/p>\n
