[quote author=SleekyP post=32822123]There was a bloody clash between Igbo traders and cemetery workers on Thursday and early today at Ladipo Market in Mushin, Lagos, western Nigeria, after the cemetery attendants formed a parallel executive and took over the leadership of the market.

P.M.NEWS gathered that many traders were wounded following the clash during which guns, machetes and axes were freely used before the police later brought the situation under control.

When our correspondent visited the market on Friday morning, the whole area was rowdy and some traders shut their shops and left the market.

Some police officers were deployed at strategic locations in the market to prevent further fracas.

It was not the first time the groups were fighting at the market. Last month, there was fighting and eight workers were arrested and charged before Ebutt Metta Magistrates’ court for causing mayhem in the market dominated by Igbo auto spare parts traders.

On Tuesday this week another fight broke out which left some traders injured before Thursday’s fighting which spilled over to today.

The fighting which paralysed commercial activities in the market was between the leadership of the market’s central body called Ladipo Auto Central Executive, LACEC and cemetery attendants led by Monday Lawrence.

Monday Lawrence, LACEC leader

Trouble started when some cemetery workers stormed the market with the aid of some military officers.

The workers started moving round the market and ringing bell to announce that the executive of the market has been dissolved and they were now in charge of the market.

When LACEC task force members attempted to stop them, fighting broke out.

Last month, they printed receipts and started collecting tolls from the traders which also resulted in fracas.

Eight members of the group were arrested by the police and charged before Ebutte Metta Magistrate’s court for the offence.

They were granted bail and are still facing trial for assaulting one of the task force members, Ndubusi Eme during the fracas.

Confirming the development, the president of LACEC, Comrade Kinsley Ogunor said the cemetery workers have been terrorising the traders, insisting that they must control the affairs of the market.

He said the market leadership had made several reports to the security agents including the Mushin Local Government Council which contracted the cemetery workers to call Monday and his group to order to no avail.

Ogunor explained that Lawrence came to the market to manage Mushin LGA cemetery located at Ladipo Street close to the market and was not a trader there.

He said Monday seized the opportunity to cause trouble and it appeared that some unseen hands were supporting him and his group.

He said “from the cemetery he started encroaching and now says he wants to take over the management of the market against the wish of the traders.”

Some of the traders who spoke to our reporter expressed fear that the crises might degenerate to serious crises that will affect the state. Effort to speak to Lawrence failed because his phones were switched off.


You are not only a liar but a big fool for misleading nigerians.monday is not contesting d leadership of LACEC. The cemetery. Attendant meantioned is pure Lies. They are called cemetery boy because they stay close to cemetry were they turn to somking place. Those boy are area boy that cause problem in the area. So LACEC is a union body which is the Elected by law, No trade was wounded. Beside monday and co are on the run as I speak to you.

The APC government of Lagos State needs to explain to me the reason a CEMETARY WORKER is collecting LEVIES from MARKET TRADER. Is this command directly from the Iyalojah Tinubu ?

See your life outside. What has the article got to do with Yoruba.

When did Monday became a Yoruba name. Have you ever in your life met a Yoruba man bearing Monday.

Small time you and your people will say you're not tribalistic.
