Following the recent demolition of people's goods at Eke Ukwu market around Douglas road in Owerri, Imo State which took peoples lives, it is now a case in court between Owerri people and Governor Rochas Okorocha. Family Writers correspondent in Owerri, has come out with facts and to notify the world that Rochas Okorocha's interest in relocating the market has something to do with a personal business he has with Alhaji Aliko Dangote.

They vowed to rather die than to see their market demolished by Rochas Okrocha and cohorts. Most of the indegenes and property owners at the designated area went on Facebook and other social media live to tell the world about Rochas Okorocha's plan to demolish their only market in Owerri municipal without proper consultations and compensations.

One of the elders from Umuoronjo whom I interviewed through a phone call told me that the case is now in court. He disclosed that the Chief Judge of Imo State High Court 1 told Rochas Okorocha, the Governor of Imo State to pay the sum of #1,250000(i.e. one million, two hundred and fifty thousand naira for damages . And the money is to be paid to the people affected. After the last court sitting, she disclosed that the damages is as regard to the part of the market that he demolished at the earlier stage. It was reported that three (3) people were shot dead and many were injured due to their refusal to vacate the market. The people of Owerri were very angry that Rochas Okorocha did not see Ama-awusa market to demolish, he did not kill them, but he killed Owerri people and took over their market. The people took to the streets of Owerri, "shouting No Election in Imo State". Also, " Okoroawusa has killed us, Okoroawusa has left Hausa market and demolished our only source of income". What a mess!
Furthermore, earlier before now, traditional rulers were the most respected people by the Government and communities but they were over looked and neglected by Rochas Okorocha. A woman who pleaded anonymous said that, this should be an eye opener to the people of Imo State to forget anything that concerns Nigerian Government and pull their full surport in Biafra quest and struggle.
Another witness said that the militants brought by Rochas to clamp down on Owerri people were from Ohaji. she revealed that they would stop Ohaji people from coming to Owerri to trade in any of their markets. She further stressed that Ohaji people's contribution in killing Owerri people have made them to become enemies. The question is, are those killers really Ohaji people or are they Hausa Fulani terrorists that Rochas used and tagged them Ohaji people??
