Governor Hope Uzodinma’s administration destroyed the Imo State Zoo and Wildlife Park in Owerri to sell the land to his cronies and political associates, SaharaReporters has learnt. SaharaReporters gathered that the multi-million-naira facility in the state capital was destroyed by the administration of Uzodinma despite court judgments barring him from taking any action on the facility.
More information behind the arrest of Owerri-based radio journalist and rights activist, Chinonso Uba, popularly known as Nonso Nkwa by the Nigeria Police Force has emerged. Insider sources told SaharaReporters on Sunday that Nkwa was arrested for interviewing a former General Manager of Imo State Zoological Garden, Mr Francis Abioye, who exposed how Governor Hope Uzodinma demolished the state zoo and was allegedly planning to sell the land to his cronies.
