The Anambra State Commissioner for Commerce and Industry, Mr Obinna Ngonadi, has sacked the Interim Caretaker Committee Chairman of Ogbaru of Relief market, Ogbaru Local Government Area, Chief David Obidike, and his secretary, Mr Donatus Udoekwe, over alleged involvement in construction of illegal structures in the market.

He said, “The two leaders were removed from their positions because they were involved in erecting over 19 structures inside the market within three months of assumption of office, collecting huge sums as bribe from developers without informing other executive members working with them.

“I have requested the two to appear before me with three documents: Approved building plans by Anambra State Physical Planning Board; recommendation letter from the Ministry; and number of shops constructed. “The duo bluntly refused and the rest of the executive members of the market also petitioned that they were not part of the conspiracy and that the Chairman’s leadership style is autocracy.”

Reacting to the minor reshuffle, the new chairman of the market commended the state government for finding him worthy and pledged to work in line with the stipulated guideline and directive of the state government.All rights reserved.
