In a release signed by his Chief Press Secretary, Onyebuchi Ememanka made available to ABN TV, the Governor had earlier spoken about the menace of the street traders around that axis during his radio interview at Magic FM Aba lamented that despite all appeals to the traders, they have persisted in their unlawful occupation of that area, including the entrance into Ehere Road through Opobo Junction.
