[size=14pt]Lagos shuts Ladipo Market, seizes charms and dangerous weapons[/size]

https://www.thebeat99.com/sites/default/files/imagecache/highlight_image/img01413-20130225-1210.jpg

The Lagos State Government today shut the popular auto spare parts market, Ladipo Market in Mushin area of Lagos, southwest Nigeria. Ten suspected Bakassi boys were also arrested during the closure of the market. Dangerous weapons and charms were also confiscated during the raid.

Officials of the Lagos State Taskforce on Environmental and Special Offences (Enforcement) Unit stormed the market as early as 4.00a.m and shut it because it was filthy.

Last week, the Lagos State Commissioner for the Environment, Mr. Tunji Bello visited the market and decried the wanton degradation of the environment and filthiness of the area and warned that if nothing was done, the market would be shut. The traders took government’s threat lightly and did nothing to remedy the situation.

Hundreds of fully armed taskforce officials led by its Chairman, Bayo Sulaiman, a Chief Superintendent of Police besieged the market and shut it down, with thousands of traders shut out.

The traders were dispersed by taskforce officials with several canisters of teargas.

An Armoured Personnel Carrier, APC, was stationed at the Toyota end of the Apapa-Oshodi expressway while the area was barricaded.

The traders said they were caught unawares as they never expected the market to be shut.

A trader, who craved anonymity said, “we don’t like the closure. It will bring suffering to us. We came in this morning and met our market shut and the police stopped us from entering. No notice was given to us and what are we going to do now?”

Another trader, Uche said he did not expect the market to be shut, while another trader, Nduibuisi appealed to government to re-open the market as the traders would lose lots of money.

Taskforce Chairman, Sulaiman said the state government had lots of issues with the market, ranging from hooliganism, lack of toilet facilities, degradation of the environment with diesel and fuel as well as traders in the market turning themselves to another government.

“We came here two weeks ago, but the officials of the market did not show up. There is serious trading going on in the streets and there are lots of shanties here. We will make sure that this time around, proper sanitation is done by the traders before this market will be re-opened and they have to submit to the chairman of Mushin Local Government,” he stated.

Chairman, Mushin Local Government, Olatunde Adepitan described the closure of the market as a welcome development and long overdue, saying this is the only way forward for the Local Government.

“The hooliganism here has gone out of control. These people have turned themselves to another government. When you interfere in their matters here, they will tribalise the issue and that is why as a government we take things easy so that it will not escalate into a tribal issue.

“There is need to sanitise this place. The people here look at themselves as the Niger Delta of Mushin Local Government.

“We will liaise with the taskforce officials to ensure that before re-opening this market, registration forms will be given to the people so that we can know who is who and those who are trading here because inside the Aguiyi Ironsi Market here, there are criminals. There are arms right in the market and there are Bakassi Boys living inside this market,” he explained.

Meanwhile, the Commissioner for the Environment, Bello, said he ordered the closure of Ladipo Market after several meetings and warnings with the market leadership and traders about the deteriorating state of the market.

“The environment is seriously polluted and degraded with oil; full and half engines, spare parts and human waste are dumped into surrounding canals while illegal structures are built along drainage paths and all the canal setbacks have been turned to shops and trading points.

“A visit to the place also shows that street traders have taken over the entire major inlets and outlets to the market, while residents have severally petitioned the Ministry of the Environment about lack of access to their homes and property. These traders have degraded all the major access roads to the market which need remediation and rehabilitation,” he said.

According to Bello, some of the conditions that might warrant re-opening of the market include: complete removal of all illegal structures and attached structures built along canal paths and that traders must be confined to the main markets.

“Under no condition must they trade or solicit for customers on the main road. They must remove all shops attachments built around the market/canals, remove all derelict and abandoned vehicles parked within the market as far as the expressway, remediate all forms of degradation on the roads and market area, sort out waste management issues with LAWMA as they cannot continue to dump into the canals, ensure total cleaning of the entire market and adjoining streets which they have degraded, among others.”

Who are you trying to impress?

Anybody is free to see the market closure in any light.
That's their business.
Anybody that feels cheated should find his/her square root.

People are still going about this the wrong way.

1) This is not an issue of ethnicity because many places of business that are used by various ethnic groups have been closed, warned, etc since 1999. What ethnic group is the dominant ethnic group at Mile 12 market? What ethnic group is the dominant ethnic group at the Oko Baba saw mill? And so many others.

2) For the same reasons, Ladipo Market is not the only market that has been closed and it might not be the last, so trying to say another market is dirtier is neither here nor there. The fact is that the market has not met the standards that has been set by government (street trading, filth, method of waste disposal, obstruction of traffic, etc).

3) The government should come to an agreement with market leaders and the private sector on ways to dispose the waste: Well, the market has been closed because the traders breached such an agreement. Some are even saying that the government should collect money from the traders for the sanitation of the market! If that is implemented, these same people will scream extortion and imposition.

When this issue of market closures began in the early 2000s (Tinubu Administration) I was against it. I grudgingly came to accept it when I saw the results of the market closures (much better environment).

I am truly shocked that nobody has mentioned the one flaw in this policy. The only problem I have with the closure is the issue of individual liability and culpability. The particular individuals that are responsible for littering the streets, street trading, causing obstruction of traffic flow, etc should be arrested and prosecuted, but the market should not be closed. Those who have not committed these offences have a right to continue their business in peace, while those who have committed the offences should be prosecuted.

This is more difficult for the government to do, because it requires constant patrol. There's also the issue of people resisting arrest and even the problem of identifying people, so the government took the easy way out by shutting the market, which shouldn't be.

[size=14pt]Lagos Govt Orders Closure of Alade Market, Shopping Arcade[/size]

By Olasunkanmi Akoni, 2 July 2004

Lagos — The Lagos State Government yesterday ordered the closure of the popular Alade Market and Shopping Arcade, along Allen Avenue Onigbongbo Local Government area of Lagos State for failure to meet up with the environmental sanitation standard of the state.

The market was shut before 7am by security operatives from the state government's office at Alausa, before the traders could resume for their usual trading activities.

[size=14pt]Fashola receives protesting Balogun traders, appeals for restraint[/size]

Written by ⁠ ⁠ Wednesday, 20 February 2013

Lagos State governor, Mr Babatunde Fashola, on Monday appealed to the Island Fashion Dealers from Balogun Market, Lagos to exercise restraint with the government just as he promised to visit the market to determine its exact location and the state of things.

The governor spoke at the open grounds of the Lagos House, Ikeja when he received the traders, who staged a peaceful protest to the Governor’s Office to protest the continued closure of their market in the aftermath of a fire disaster in October last year.

Governor Fashola, who volunteered to visit the site of the market following claims and counter claims about the exact location of the market by the traders, also said the government owed all its citizens a duty to safeguard their lives.

He apologised to the traders for any inconveniences they might have been facing over the fire incident which ravaged their structures in October and noted that he had to adjourn the State Executive Council meeting to come and receive them.

He explained that the report he is getting indicates that since the fire incident occurred the building has not been stable and that government would be failing in its responsibilities if it allows people to carry on their business in such an unsafe environment.

Governor Fashola said that the fact that the building seemed safe to the traders does not mean it should be accepted as being safe until it is certified to be so by the relevant authorities of the State.

Speaking earlier, the spokesperson of the group, Mrs Moji Ibrahim claimed that the plaza that the traders occupied was not involved in the fire incident caused by firecrackers in Central Lagos.

She said the traders decided to stage a protest to the Alausa seat of government when it waited endlessly and did not get a quick response from officials of the state government on what step it intends to take concerning the burnt market. She said the situation has brought untold hardships to many families and dependants of the traders.

The traders who were happy about the Governor’s response and promise to personally visit the market sang in praise of his leadership qualities and dispersed peacefully.

The Governor was joined by members of the State Executive Council including the Special Adviser on Central Business District, Mrs Derin Disu, Commissioner for Special Duties, Dr Wale Ahmed and his Information and Strategy counterpart, Mr Lateef Ibirogba among others.

[size=14pt]THUGGERY: Lagos Police Boss Summons Ladipo Market Leader[/size]

The Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Umar Manko, has summoned leaders of Ladipo Market traders at Mushin to the police headquarters, Ikeja, Lagos State, Southwest Nigeria, over threat to life and insecurity in the market and its environs.

The leaders were summoned to appear before Manko on Friday to explain the various reports about thuggery and threat to the lives of some traders and residents.

P.M.NEWS gathered that an invitation letter was delivered at the office of the central body called Ladipo Auto Central Executive Committee, LACEC.

The invitation has to do with the total break down of law and order in the market due to thuggery.

P.M.NEWS gathered that the market has been turned into a jungle where all sorts of crimes such as thuggery and drug dealings are allegedly committed.

Armed thugs have taken over the market and customers who go to the market are robbed of their possessions, yet the leaders are not doing anything about it.

Mushin Local Government Chairman, Mr. Babatunde Adepitan, noted in the presence of protesting traders over armed thugs in the market earlier this week that he was aware that armed thugs are in the market and he was doing everything possible to clean up the place.

The invitation also followed complaints by the residents in Papa Ajao area of Mushin who claimed that there are security challenges in the area and in the market both in the day and at night.

P.M.NEWS investigation revealed that there are about 36 unions that make up LACEC, and those unions have deployed their thugs called task force that unleash terror on both customers, traders and residents.

A trader told P.M.NEWS to come to Ladipo market around 7 pm and see how the market has been taken over by miscrants.

When P.M.NEWS contacted the market president, Mr Ikechukwu Animalu, he comfirmed the police boss’ invitation and noted that there are miscreants in the market but added that market leaders are battling to get rid of them.

The market has been facing crises over leadership tussle.The tussle led to the hiring of thugs who have compromised the security of the market.

Olumogun: Why not let us all do some follow up here on this issue. How?
1. someone to give us some pictures before the Market was closed.
2. then we need to see the situation now when every thing is under locks and keys.
3 when finally the state govt begin anything there, someone should send some pictures here.

After comparing these three stages, that is when we can come up to comment right and well

That's been done before. There are pictures galore on this thread

[quote author=e-tonslogistics]Hmmmmm call it a tribal war u may not b entirely wrong.......
1. From general stat, 7 out 10 markets in Lagos state are seriously dirty, why always single out Ladipo auto-parts mart.

2. A certain tribe are known for trading @ Ladipo market.

3. List of some dirty markets in Lagos some are even Dirtier than Ladipo mart;
Mile12 market by mile12,
Boundary market by marine beach,
Idioro market by mushin
Alaba rago market by okoko exp.
Agege market.e.t.c.
Yet they are operational.

Is it not worrying that the closure of the market falls within d same period of government is having legal issues with the ''Market Leadership'', (since 2012 till date) the President has been detained by Lagos state govt, using it's Judiciary arm as the weapon.
With the Leadership in confusion who guides the market??.
If you see the market as bn dirty, is closing it the solution?, rmba Ladipo is a ''cluster of street shops'' meanin it's not even planned, so if the government is bn sincere abt dis,dn it should reolcate dm. To a well planned and mapped out area, considering the number of pple it employs, issues it helps resolve, family dat make their living there and bn the largest autopart mart in the State.
Or
A ppp btw d traders assoc. d landlords & state govt, to restructure the area like Tejuosho mkt, (gradually raising an organised mart, wt modernized structures and facilities and access roads).
Or
Set up a meeting with d whateva is left of the Leadership or an interim Leadership and Landlords in the area to av LAWMA personnels e.g 30 or 40 attached to d mart and 2 trucks, their job is to kip the mart clean. Sweepin the entire area everymornin by 5:00am or 6:00am or evening 10pm, dis is also a form of employment and the bills and salary of workers are sorted by the Traders association & Landlords.

Just my own idea and view on the Matter!!!![/quote]1) Relocate the traders: The government has done this many times and it all leads to the same thing. . .insults will be heaped on the government. Witness Oluwole Market, Oko-Baba sawmill, Oshodi, etc.

2) Refuse disposal: that's precisely why the market is being closed. These markets have executives. The government has agreements with the executive of the market. The executives supervise the cleaning of the market, ensure there's no street trading, etc, while Lawma provides trucks and personnel to cart away the refuse, Kai and Lastma are on hand to assist the executives, etc. Anytime the traders breach this agreement, the government issues a warning, has meetings with the executive and if this doesn't work, the market is shut.

Remember, this market has been shut before, the executive have promised to correct the errors, the market has been re-opened, yet, even posters here attest to the fact that it's filthy.

GboyegaD: What arrangement has he in place for them? I don't have a challenge with him displacing them provided he's made an arrangement of where to relocate them to otherwise, it is worthless. Besides, my understanding of your post is that by transforming Lagos to a Mega city, residents of Ajegunle, Ijora Badia etc should be awaiting their displacement soonest right?

1) In the case of the market, the government is not shutting the market permanently. Once the market executives sign an agreement that they will ensure that there's no street trading, that the market will be kept clean, etc the market will be reopened.

2) In the case of slum dwellers, if you've got documents showing that you are the legal owner of the land, you will be paid compensation or resettled. If you are an illegal squatter, then do not expect to get compensation. It would be wrong for government to compensate illegality, which will only encourage more people to break the law.

Alade market was closed in 2004 and I think it's been closed at other times too.

There are some people that I wish are still alive today, so that I can have a good argument with them.

In the 1980s and 90s, Lagos was touted as the "dirtiest city in the world". People complained about the filth and lack of order. There were regular articles in Nigerian and even foreign newspapers condemning the general lack of order and filth in Lagos. Citizens complain "don't they travel abroad and see how things are?" They, of course, are government officials. I always said that, should government decide to do something about the filth, the same citizens would be up in arms. That's where we are today.

[size=14pt]Lagos Shuts Mile 12 Market Over Poor Sanitation[/size] by adewasco2k(m): 8:12am On Feb 02, 2012

adewasco2k: By Olasunkanmi Akoni & Monsur Olowoopejo
LAGOS — Lagos State Government, Wednessday, sealed the popular Mile 12 market, in Ikosi-Isheri Local Council Development Area, LCDA, over various environmental offences.

Similarly, the state government has threatened to shut Oko Oba Abattoir and Lairage in Agege Local Government Area, if the unhygienic practices and non compliance with the relevant laws governing meat slaughtering continued.

It also inaugurated a 17-man task force committee on the abattoir and animal markets in the state with the aim of ensuring wholesome practices.

On the Mile 12 market closure, men of the state Environmental Taskforce on Environmental Sanitation and Special Offences Agency stormed the market in the early hours of yesterday and shut it.

The state Commissioner for the Environment, Mr. Tunji Bello, explained that the closure became necessary following failure by the market leaders to comply with the state government directives of ensuring sanity in the market.

Bello listed three environmental offences committed by the traders to include lack of ability to control drivers of lorries, who discharge foodstuff, that is, lack of traffic discipline; poor sanitary condition of the market and indiscriminate parking by customers on the highway, among others.

He said: “We had a stakeholders’ meeting with the market leaders earlier where they promised to comply with the directive, but after giving them a specified period of time without any improvement, the state government had to move in to save the deteriorating situation of the moment.”

RuuDie: On the surface, this whole operation appears like 'cleansing' of some sorts; maybe not tribal but socio-economic. I look at the work being done in Yaba particular and I ask myself if most of the previous occupants will be able to get their shops back... those new shops look like they will cost a fortune!

I have said previously that much of what Fashola is doing in Lagos is not new. If you study the Jakande masterplan, you'll understand what Fashola is doing.

The answer to your question is "long term government backed mortgages". How long did it take people to pay for Jakande houses? How much did they pay per month or per year?

Military governments of the 80s and 90s really destroyed the town planning and zoning system in Lagos. I hope the government will be able to restore order in the system.

Is the new location on the LRT Blue Line route? I believe the government is trying to boost development in that area to complement development in the Lekki area and decongest the city.
