Father of 4 weeps as government demolishes his house
Meanwhile, Fox Nigeria previously reported that a father of four had shed tears as the government demolished his house.
The Nigerian man who hails from Imo state – in an interview with Fox Nigeria – said he acquired the land about 15 years ago legally and that his buildings (a duplex and a bungalow) were the first to spring up in the area and so was surprised it was demolished.
The reason for the demolition (of the property on Ext. no. 17, Works Road Layout, GRA, Enugu), he said they told him, was to aid a road construction to be done by the government as the neighbourhood road hasn't been tarred since its existence.
