IPOB Members Mock Government, Commission Bad Road In Anambra (Pictures)

According to reports, a group of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, did a mock commissioning of the terribly
dilapidated Obodo-Ukwu road at Okpoko in Onitsha, Anambra State.

The group took to the road on Monday, June 22, with ribbons and a pair of scissors, and took pictures while they commissioned the road which has been rendered impassable by flood over the years.

It was gathered that the mock commissioning was done to raise alarm over the current bad state of the Obodo-Ukwu road and also, sensitize the Anambra government on the plight of the people badly affected.

It is not in any contention that many communities in the South East region are prone to gully erosion. In fact, some of them have already been sacked by the menace.

Although the Anambra State government had inaugurated an Erosion Design Review Committee to tackle the problem, not much has been achieved as it blames most of the gully erosion sites on wrong channeling of water.

Recently in Onitsha, over 1500 families were displaced and 22 houses lost to erosion menace threatening Obeleagu and Nkisi Aroli streets and environs. Affected were school and church buildings.

Anambra State is believed to be the most erosion-prone state with virtually all the 178 communities in the state having one form of gully erosion or the other, with its attendant damages. In fact, many villagers have had to abandon their homes due to the devastating effect of the erosion, turning refugees in their own communities.
