Anambra govt officials escape death for allegedly locking up Onitsha market

ONITSHA—Officials of Anambra State Urban Development Board, ASUDEB, yesterday, escaped death by whiskers as angry traders from the Electronics International Market threatened them for allegedly locking up three access gates leading into the market.

It took the timely intervention of the market leaders to rescue the ASUDEB officials from the hands of the angry traders who had already organized themselves into a mob to deal with their unwanted visitors.

According to the source, the ASDUDEB officials led by its General Manager, Mr. Nathan Enemuo and the officer in-charge of Ogbaru Local Government Area, Mrs Ngozi Atisele had stormed the market in the early hours of yesterday and allegedly embarked on the locking up of the three gates which the traders used as access into the market located near the bridge-head, along the Enugu/Onitsha expressway.

Confirming the development, the Secretary of the market, Comrade Damian Ogudike and its Public Relations Officer, PRO, Ikechukwu Onwuama blamed the General Manager and his officials for being biased in locking up the gates, adding, "he might have been bribed by those at Ogboefele market and Orange Drug, our close neighbours and that could be the reason the officials did not lock-up their own gates.

"We call on Governor Willie Obiano to investigate the illegal activities of the ASUDEB General Manager and his officials before they run into trouble or else we can't guarantee their safety next time they come into the market for this kind of illegality," Ogudike and Onwuama warned.

According to the duo, "the General Manager and his team would have been lynched.
