An IG uer who goes by the name Ingrid Adaeze Okonta (@i.o.okonta)
has called out Imo state governor, Rochas Okorocha,for destroying a
rental property worth N60 million, belonging to her grandma.
According to Ingrid, Rochas did not give them proper notice or compensation!
My grandma Chief/Mrs. P.A Nwameme built this 3 story rental property
with 18 first level storefronts in Mgbidi,IMO State in 1976. Governor
Rochas and his evil contractors only gave her verbal notice to remodel
the building to the standard of the new market. So my mother and her
siblings decided to call from the U. S to look for a contractor who can
remodel the three story building. The plan was when a suitable
contractor was found, my mother and her siblings will all go to Nigeria
in order to supervise the renovation. Before we knew it, my mother got a
call from Nigeria that my grandmother’s three story building was
bulldozed. Governor Rochas and his evil contractors never gave any time
for a renovation. With no type of remorse he destroyed a 60million Naira
worth building, with no compensation. This is illegal and shameful on
the governor’s part. People live in that three story building and they
have their businesses there. He has displaced so many people.My
grandmother is a widow and this is one of her retirement incomes. This
is so wrong on every level. They encourage Igbo people in diaspora to
come back to Nigeria to develop but , yet they are destroying our
property. It is very discouraging to want give back when your own people
treat you like rubbish.
