Breaking: In Port-Harcourt, Multi-billion Naira ‘Odili Bridge’ Collapses.


The Bridge constructed by the former governor leaves Rivers State in heavy traffic. Thousands of commuters in Port Harcourt, Rivers state, endured a second day of horrendous traffic gridlock after a barely seven-year old overpass, constructed by the administration of indicted former governor, Peter Odili, caved in on Sunday. Cars tailed into several kilometers, around the Aba road expressway area, on Monday
snaking their ways through mandatory diversions occasioned by the collapse of the Airforce junction bridge.

There were no reports of casualties, residents of the city said on Monday. But the failed facility immediately sparked calls for the arrest of the builders, Bulletin Construction Company, and rekindled a national outrage that has haunted Mr. Odili’s post-office life, years after he was indicted for fraud by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.
