Our correspondent sourced that Mr. Promise Gogorodari, The owner of Prudent Hotel demolished by the Rivers State Government, has refuted violating any law to warrant the demolition of his business structure.
Bight News gathered that Mr. Gogorodari said that the state government should have carried out proper investigation before demolishing his hotel.
The hotelier who is based in Lagos said that the demolition of two hotels was a setback for the State’s economy, adding that the development was not good for investors in the state.
“I am based in Lagos but I am not in the right frame of mind to speak now. There is nobody who will not feel bad about this. It is a hotel that I built for the past seven years. The demolition of hotels is a setback to the state in terms of investment.
“That was an investment that was taking care of my family and relatives and people around me. There was no fair hearing before the demolition took place. With this, many people are out of jobs.
“I did not violate any order. The government was supposed to do some investigations before doing that. And if they found me wanting, then another procedure should be followed; not demolishing a structure like that,” Gogorodari said
