Speaking to newsmen recently, the Executive Chairman of the Enugu State Capital Territory Development Authority (ECTDA) Dr Josef Onoh denied allegations of unjustly and illegally destroying Njoku's properties.
Josef, in a press conference clip sent to Legit.ng following the earlier report frowned at the words and media antics of Njoku which he said were direct attack on his person as the head of the agency.
He said the properties Njoku claimed to be his were without the proper plan required by law and this informed the demolition decision.
Josef urged members of the public to ignore the statements of Njoku as there is no iota of truth in them.
