Enugu govt seals venue INEC issued certificates of return

The Enugu Capital Territory Development Authority, ECTDA, has finalised the sealing of the hall of the BON Platinum Hotel in the Independence Layout.

The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, presented certificates to Governor-elect Peter Mbah, Deputy Ifeanyi Ossai, and House of Assembly members-elect at the venue.

On Thursday, a structural flaw caused a loud noise during the distribution of certificates of return to the winners.

The bang caused panic, causing recipients, family members, INEC officials, and others to flee for safety.

During an inspection on Friday, the ECTDA discovered the building had no approval plan, the same case with another structure under construction.

The Chairman, Josef Onoh announced that the hall would remain shut pending the outcome of further integrity checks.

“The proprietor is not ready to exercise patience for the Nigeria Society of Engineers to come for their own inspection.

“Asking us to allow her host a wedding there tomorrow. I wonder how much she collected that the venue cannot be relocated,” Onoh said.
