The building was marked for demolition by the Owerri Capital Development Agency (OCDA) some weeks ago but Ihenacho kicked against it and vowed to resist the demolition.
The State government few hours after the demolition of the property denied receiving any court order from the former minister prohibiting the demolition.
Okorocha, through Mr Sam Onwuemeodo explained that the demolition was not done out of malice,insisting that it was in the best interest of the state.
He urged Ihenacho to accept the demolition in good fate, while acknowledging his support to the state government before the demolition,and advise him to shun incitement by politicians.
Governor Okorocha said "Former Minister of Interior and the governorship Candidate of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) in the State, Captain Emmanuel Iheanacho has been very supportive to the Rescue Mission government in the State since 2011 and that is why efforts by certain politicians in the State to incite him against the government has failed"
He continued "It is also against the backdrop of this development that Captain Iheanacho would see the demolition of the fence of his house that was very close to the main road, and that is Orlu/Amakohia road, as an action sincerely taken in the overall interest of the State and her people, and not out of malice"
"And seeing the good work going on, on Amakohia/Orlu road, Captain Iheanacho would not have gone to Court for an Order to stop the good work and that is why we had doubted the report on Court Order when we read it on the Pages of Newspapers and that could be the reason that, uptill now nobody has seen a copy of the reported Court Order" Okorocha stated.
The ongoing demolition exercise along the Amakohia/Orlu road according to Governor Okorocha is to make the state capital a model city state.
