Court orders Enugu govt to pay man N55m for illegal demolition of his shops

The Enugu State High Court has ordered the Enugu Capital Territory Development Authority to pay a man, Chinedu Onyebuchi, N55 million for illegally demolishing his shops in the state.

Mr Onyebuchi, an architect, sued the development agency on 24 July 2015, about one year after the agency demolished his six shops.

According to a court document obtained by PREMIUM TIMES, Mr Onyebuchi, had prayed the court to declare that the demolition of his shops by the development agency was unlawful, unconstitutional and unwarranted.
