The Anambra State Physical Planning Board has demolished the security post of the Onitsha church of popular Prophet Chukwuemeka Ohanemere (Prophet Odumeje).
The Church, Mountain Of Holy Ghost Intervention Ministry World Miracle Centre, alias Land Of Freedom, located at Bida Road, Fegge, Onitsha, was not affected but the security post and an attachment in the church were demolished.
The security guard at the church who gave his name as Eze told Daily Sun that the church was not demolished as stated on social media but the house was used as a security post for the church and other structures along the carnal.
According to him, “the house in question is not even built by the church through the house is at the front of the church built by the government in the 70s as a police post. We are only using the house as a security post and parking store. So, as you can see the church is intact, nothing happened to the church as rumoured.”
The state government had marked the church structure as an illegal structure and asked that it be removed.
The structure reportedly sits on a huge canal which renders it an illegal building subject to demolition in line with Governor Soludo’s plan to demolish over 200 buildings in Onitsha blocking the drainage linking the River Niger.
