Massive demolition in Enugu - Residents cry out

The late hours of the afternoon today, July the 7th was a bitter one for some street traders in Enugu. These traders have their businesses running at the road sides of Trans Ekulu area of the state. They were mostly youths and students of Enugu State College of Education Technical as well as Enugu State University of Science and Technology. These traders feel deeply hurted and hopeless as a result of the situation. Most of them are crying out to the government to act quickly to salvage their situation as they lack alternative means of livelihood and support for their academic pursuit.

Meanwhile in an interview with One of the agents of the Enugu Capital Territory Development Authority, Mr. Okoh Emeka, he said that the agency has for many months given out warnings and notices for the incident but yet the occupants refused to leave the designated areas. But the traders in their own opinion claim that they were given no notice or warnings.
