The story has it that the new structures erected at the market were pulled down by hoodlums few days ago and police in the area have swung into action to fish out those behind the act for them to face the music without delay.
Our reporter also gathered that following the destruction and damages caused by the unidentified group, women of the area have resolved to go on peaceful demonstration against the perpetrators of the act.
The women Trumpeta gathered are going to demonstrate half necked to show their anger on the destruction on the Ishinweke market. The market was designed by Governor Rochas Okorocha to wear a new look for the upliftment of the image of Ihitte Uboma local government area.
The women leader of the local government area, Hon Mrs Ibenye Duru, in a chat with our reporter at Ihitte Uboma condemned the act and described it as a calculated attempt by the detractors to destroy Ihitte Uboma’s progress. She therefore disclosed that the women of the area will come out in full force to pour curses on the perpetrators, adding that the wicked must not have peace in his or her life.
Dr Mrs Uche Ejiogu, the honorable member representing Ihitte Uboma in the State House of Assembly in her own speech raised eye brow on what happened and described it as the work of the devilish ones, adding that Governor Rochas Okorocha wants the best for Ihitte Uboma but the wicked ones do not want the massive development to continue.
