#TrackNigeria: Barely 24hrs after his inauguration Gov. Emeka Ihedioha of Imo has commenced demolition of monuments in the capital city of Owerri.
The demolition started on Thursday with the Akachi tower, a monument built by the immediate past administration of Mr Rochas Okorocha and commissioned by the Vice president Yemi Osinbajo on May 17.
The tower which had the symbol of a hand on its zenith was erected on a dumpsite which was reclaimed by the Okorocha administration.
Sitting on a large expanse of land along the Owerri – Aba road, the monument had been a major attraction for visitors coming into the state from Aba.
Armed security men provided cover for the personnel involved in the demolition as caterpillars were seen bringing down the structures.(NAN)
