Obi, the person who alerted authorities to the devastation, expressed his regret at not even being informed of the planned destruction so he could remove some essential household goods.

He told journalists: “My pain is not that the house was demolished, after all, government once told us that the area had been acquired by it and that the houses built there will be demolished.

“My pain is that when they wanted to demolish it, they didn’t as little as notify us so that we can remove some useful items in the house. My wife has been in tears since after the demolition. She has been crying ceaselessly.

“I have heard that government has said it will pay us compensation as it was captured in the 2023 Appropriation Bill, but if they notified us, it would have helped us bear the shock of the demolition.

“That house was built by my wife, even one Kobo of mine did not go into it. My wife is a retiree from a federal government agency, and she used her life saving and retirement fund to buy the land and also construct the building. The land was very legally acquired, and even my building plan was approved by government.

“Now they are telling me they will pay compensation, do they want to kill my wife so that I will use the money they will pay me to bury her?” he asked rhetorically.

However, it was discovered that the activist had been contacted by the Awka Capital Territory Development Agency, who had assured him that he would receive compensation for the destroyed structure.

The Anambra Keke and Shuttle Drivers Union coordinator, Comrade Osita Obi, has been at the forefront of advocating for tricycle riders in the state, including working with the government to lower the operators’ tax obligations.

He previously served as the movement’s organizer in Anambra State, where he called the Peter Obi and Willie Obiano administrations to account for failing to hold the state’s local government elections.
