The governor’s aide added that the team handling the demolition began the work at Fegge area of Onitsha following the expiration of the more than two months notice served developers and building owners in April 2022.
During the demolition on Thursday, Odumeje, in a viral video, was seen being manhandled by security operatives who accompanied the demolition team following his attempt to stop the officials from demolishing his church.
The controversial cleric was severally slapped and restricted from moving to the demolition area by armed security officers.
