A building belonging to an architect John Jerry Emejulu who reportedly led thugs to demolished some part of Enugu Airport fence, has been demolished.
John Jerry Emejulu claimed ownership of the portion of land.
Minister of Aviation, Hadi Sirika, on Thursday, said Mr. Emejulu, accompanied by hundreds of armed thugs and bulldozers, had demolished up to 2km of the Enugu airport fence before the Nigerian Air Force and Police intervened to arrest the situation.
But in doing his best, he has given the opportunity to government to show how not to wilfully destroy public assets belonging to 200 million people. It’s totally unacceptable.”
His private property which was demolished barely 24 hours after, is situated along Eziokwe street off Nike Lake road, Trans Ekulu, Enugu.
Chairman of Enugu Capital Territory Development Authority (ECTDA), Dr Josef Onoh who was at the site to supervise the demolition said they a obtained court order to demolish the duplex.
Onoh denied that the action was in reprisal to Emejulu’s demolition of the airport fence being constructed as part of the airport rehabilitation. He disclosed that the property stood on waterway and needed to give way.
