Reactions are trailing Anambra State’s enforcement of physical planning regulations in Nnewi, where authorities are removing illegal structures and shanties under an urban-renewal plan for the automobile city. The Ministry of Physical Planning said more than 500 affected properties were marked and served demolition notices and reminders before the exercise began. Videos of the operation have circulated widely online. A former Capital Oil filling station reportedly linked to the late Senator Ifeanyi Ubah has drawn particular public attention after it was marked for demolition. The development has sparked debate over the scope and fairness of the exercise.
