In a bid to avert anarchy looming in the popular Ladipo market over the appointment of the market leader, armed soldiers and policemen have been drafted to the Market located in Mushin area of the state.

Our correspondent gathered that there had been anxiety in the market because some of the traders, mostly Igbo, have refused to recognise the new market leader, Baba Oloja .

To this end, a combined force of armed soldiers and mobile policemen were seen at the market on Thursday at strategic points to forestall a breakdown of law and order.

Traders who spoke on the presence of the security agents said they could not understand why the security men were drafted there.

The presence of the security agents prevented most of the traders who had gone to the market for the weekly sanitation exercise from performing the exercise.

The development forced some of the traders to shut their shops, while they stood on the road discussing the latest development.

The President-General of Ladipo Auto Central Executive Committee, (LACEC) Mr. Ikechukwu Animalu told journalists that the security officers were brought to the market by the new Baba Oloja, Alhaji Oki, to take control of the market.

He urged the traders to remain calm and go about their normal trading activities , saying the traders failed to recognise the new Baba Oloja because he was imposed on the traders.

Awake9ja: what is wrong with the yorubas?
by the way am not ibo but the truth must be said for Gods sake.

what kind of hatred is this? why is so much envy and hate about a particular tribe going on in the life of Fulani,yoruba and hausas.

Awake9ja: these yorubas here online mocking the ibos pls can you come over to my middle beltan state and tell me why I should love you guys more above ibos.

ibos are always industrious and hard working and lover of their host community and contribute selflessly to their host community.
as much as I love one Nigeria I blv Fulani, Yoruba and hausas are the most hypothetical and destroyer of the one Nigeria they profess.

come on if you guys hate the ibos this much why did you fight along with us to bring them back?
even here in the middle belt and core north the ibos are not treated this way.

pls evil is evil and it pains me more that most of the yorubas here rejoicing are either Christian or muslim.

Aedes_muskeeto: I swear to God i saw this coming.....

Now to my chest-beating "black jews"

this is what happens when you think you're above the law

case closed...

Awake9ja:

seriously when fashola deportation of the northerners and other yorubas started I know he is just beating about the bush that he is heading back to hunt and heat ibos harder and deeply.

as a Christian and a man with conscience I must say it the way it is, "what fashola and his Yoruba people are doing to the ibos are evil"
it does'nt concern me since am not ibo but I feel for the ibos bcus they are human being also.
they deserve better.
