Lagos Demolishes Oshodi Market by lekanolas: 9:49am On Jan 06, 2016 |
Traders at the Oshodi electrical and electronics market are still in shock and tears as bulldozers and a team of security men from the Lagos State government arrived the market on Wednesday to demolish the market. Some goods were destroyed as many of the traders, who are mainly Igbos have travelled to the East to celebrate Christmas and New Year holidays During the demolition exercise, some of the traders, who were around were barred from entering the market to remove their goods from their shops The armed men were battle ready to forestall any resistance from the traders as the demolition was going on. Some of the traders who spoke to our correspondent said they were not informed before the demolition of the market. They expressed their surprise over the development As at the time of filing this report the demolition was still going on. But the Lagos State government has insisted that the traders were notified of the demolition. Steve Ayorinde, Commissioner for Information and Strategy, noted that the government had said that all the traders and shop owners at the Oshodi market were to be relocated to the newly-built Isopakodowo market, about 500 metres away at Bolade area. He lamented that the market has constituted a menace and an eyesore within the locality. The added that the place will be transformed into an ultra modern bus terminus with new bus shelters that are befitting of a structured park in a mega city. http://newsday.com.ng/lagos-demolishes-oshodi-market/ |
