The Rivers State Ministry of Physical Planning and Urban Development has sealed a hotel owned by Mr. Samuel Nwanosike, popularly known as Ishi Bambae, the former Chairman of Ikwerre Local Government Area (LGA). The action was taken due to violations of development control and non-compliance with building regulations.
According to the ministry, the hotel failed to adhere to the required standards and regulations, prompting the enforcement action. The ministry emphasized the importance of compliance with development control measures to ensure safety and orderly urban growth.
This move underscores the state government’s commitment to enforcing urban planning laws and maintaining the integrity of development projects across the region.
It is alleged that the former Chairman of Ikwere Local Government Area led thugs and police men today to disrupt an empowerment program in Omerelu in Ikwerre Local Government and destroyed properties of people.
The Governor in retaliation has sealing his hotel.
