Chief Chukwuemeka Nkem Pat Orjiakor, CEO of Stelconic Properties Limited, has strongly condemned the recent vandalism of the Second Niger Bridge.
He urged the government and relevant authorities to arrest and punish the perpetrators as a deterrent to such unpatriotic acts.
Chief Orjiakor’s remarks were made in response to a video by an individual known as Lord Zeus, who detailed how criminals have been damaging the bridge.
Speaking to NewdayReporters, Chief Orjiakor, also known as Onwa Nibo, emphasized the importance of punishing such acts of vandalism, describing them as unpatriotic and harmful to society.
He commended the individual who brought this issue to public attention and called on the government and security agencies to thoroughly investigate the matter and hold those responsible accountable.
“This bridge is vital for travelers and has significantly eased traffic congestion on the Lagos-Benin-Asaba expressway,” Chief Orjiakor stated.
“It has provided much-needed relief by reducing the traffic jams typically experienced at the Onitsha head bridge for those traveling to Imo or Abia from this route.”
Chief Orjiakor expressed his concern that some individuals, driven by their criminal tendencies, are preventing citizens from enjoying the benefits of the bridge.
He urged security agencies to take swift action to arrest the culprits and recommended the installation of surveillance cameras on the bridge to prevent future incidents of vandalism.
