Mushin Local Government threatened to close down Ladipo Market if the crisis rocking the auto spare parts market persists, PM news reports.

The warning was sounded by the executive secretary of the local government, Mr. Babajide Bello at the weekend during interaction with journalists. Bello said he cannot fold his hands and watch total break down of law and order in Mushin by the warring factions.

He said confirmed that he was aware of the crises in the market and said he was ready to arrest the situation so that it will not escalate.

Speaking of his efforts to arrest the situation , Bello said he had invited the two parties involved in the matter, the executives of the traders and Monday Lawrence, the leader of cemetery workers, for discussion.

The crisis is between the traders under the umbrella of Ladipo Central Executive Committee, LACEC, led by Comrade Kinsley Ogunor and cemetery workers led by Monday Lawrence.

He said he was aware that the cemetery was contracted to Lawrence but does not know if the contract involved collection of tolls in the market on behalf of Mushin LG.


Bello noted that the warring factions are from Igbo extraction and he cannot understand why they cannot settle their rift amicably.

Bello noted that the warring factions are from Igbo extraction and he cannot understand why they cannot settle their rift amicably.

The crisis in the market between the traders and cemetery workers is thought to have started over collection of tolls from traders.

Trouble started after Lawrence faction disbanded the executives of the market and took over the management of the market.

LACEC executives alleged that Lawrence and his group printed receipts and started collecting tolls in the market without informing the LACEC officials. An attempt by the LACEC task force to stop them resulted in bloody clash in the market.

No problem, Jimi Agbaje will open it for us in 2019!

Their crisis no dey end?

Govt should put an APC there along with some security men.

Igbos need to put on their thinking cap

Why would the market be closed? the best I expected from the LG is to call the two parties to order. The money they collect is not for the traders so, why close the market. If the government does not have stake in the mkt then, let them scrap it off.
Who is fooling who? You beat in the bush and come out to be asking silly questions.
