Anambra State Government, on Thursday, demolished a church building in Onitsha belonging to Prophet Odumeje.

Odumeje, popular for his dance steps, and founder of the Mountain of Holy Ghost Intervention and Deliverance Ministry, was said to have been assaulted while he tried to convince the taskforce not to demolish his church in Onitsha on Thursday.

 

Anambra Task Force Finally Demolishes Odumeje’s Church Building

The church also known as Land of Freedom, had been tagged, “illegal building” by the State Government and earlier marked for demolition for encroaching on a huge canal.

Located at Bida Road, Fegge, Onitsha, the church was identified and marked for demolition among over 200 other houses shortly after former Central Bank Governor, Prof Chukwuma Soludo was sworn in as the governor of the state.

It was learnt that the taskforce only demolished the building housing generating set and the security office of the church.

The structures were said to have been erected along Nwagene stream and had to be removed for the actualisation of the Onitsha Urban Renewal Plan.

Members of the state task force stormed the location on Thursday to enforce the demolition amid face-off between the pastor and some of the task force members.

It was gathered that security men had tried to whisk the pastor away after he was trying to resist the demolition activities which led to the men manhandling him.
