Despite public outcry, Ocha Brigade continue to strike (See video)

Just this evening, officials of the Awka Capital Territory Development Authority were at Kwata Junction, behind Zara Stores destroying wares, chairs and tables of food sellers with so much vendetta.

Attempt by onlookers to capture on phone actions of these officials was met by intimidation from National Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) who gave cover to staff of the authority.

Mr. Nelson, an occupant of at Pax Christi who also took out his phone to record what was happening from a distance was harassed in his office by the AK-47 wielding NSCDC agents numbering five who threatened to deal with him if he fails to provide his phone used in recording them.

After so much resistance by Mr. Nelson, the NSCDC agents left promising to come back with a reinforcement.

Some of the petty traders rued their losses as even as the ACTDA officials left with some of their properties including gas cooker, canopy and its frame, while all chairs, umbrellas and tables where destroyed.

In the accompanying video, the thud of the hammer as it lands on the tables being destroyed despite the distance with which the shot was taken tells so much of the bile with which they carry out these nefarious acts.

Question then is, if you’re carrying out a legal act, why are you afraid of the camera?

When these government agents go on enforcement, they go with the media, what then changed?
