A yet-to-be-identified woman has reportedly fainted after Anambra State Government totally demolished her multi-million naira building in Edoji, Uruagu Nnewi, Nnewi North Local Government Area of the state.
The said building, a duplex, was one of the structures crushed down last Friday by an agency of the state government, Anambra State Physical Planning Board (ANSPPB), in an operation led by the Board’s Chairman, Barr. Chike Maduekwe, on the ground that they were built on access roads, thereby obstructing further developments in the area.
Barr. Maduekwe, while addressing newsmen after the demolition exercise, also revealed that the area where the structures were erected at Uruagu is a government-approved layout, the master plan of which has been bastardized by unapproved developers, hence the decision to pull down the unauthorized structures, having served them several warnings, which they ignored.
The story, however, became more dramatic when the owner of the duplex, a woman who lives in a rented apartment, literally fainted when she drove home with his children and a truck-load of household properties to furnish her new house, only to see that the building has been crushed to rubbles.
A video from the scene currently trending online shows the fainted woman lying unconscious on the ground, while villagers gathered to sympathize with her.
A vehicle carrying her new household properties meant for furnishing the new house is also seen in the video, standing motionless, with the properties still on board.
The video also shows the villagers calming and sympathizing with a son of the unconscious woman, as he weeps around in discomfort.
It was gathered that the woman was eventually rushed to a nearby hospital, where she is currently responding to treatments.
