The demolition of illegal structures on the Onitsha/Enugu Expressway by the Anambra State Government has displaced some sex workers. Also dislodged by the demolition were some urchins believed to specialise in snatching people’s personal effects in the area. Speaking with Southern City News on Friday, the leader of the sex workers in the area, who identified herself as Linda, berated the state governor, Chief Willie Obiano, for approving the demolition. She said, “So, this place has suddenly become ‘illegal structures’? The state governor, Chief Willie Obiano, directed the Physical Planning Board, Head of Development Control, Army, Police, the Operation Clean and Healthy Anambra Brigade among others, to rid the state of illegal structures and shanties.
