Two People Arrested At St Mary’s Junction In Uruagu Nnewi By Traffic Management Team
Just this afternoon, there was a fracas at the road side Onitsha park located at St Mary’s Junction in Uruagu Nnewi , between the transport union and traffic wardens whom the drivers said they came from Nnewi north local government.
According to them, the traffic management team on arriving the spot where they load Onitsha passengers by the road side arrested two people at the park, on the ground that they blocked the road, making easy flow of traffic difficult.
We can all recall that few days ago, Nnewi north local government flagged off an enforcement team, whose duty is to make sure traffic directives are obeyed in all the major roads in Nnewi , and to make sure that irregular parking, roadside loading of goods and passengers ends in Nnewi.
The arrested persons where said to be taken to Nnewi north local government headquarters.
Listening to the drivers who were already agitating , their stand remains that the spot has always been where they have been operating. They said the government never provided a new park for them
There is actually a small space meant for park right there, but it is either they prefer loading by the roadside, or that the park is too small for their operations.
