Alaba International Market was not closed by lagost state government but market leaders

The leadership of Alaba International Market on Thursday justified why it shut down the market following Wednesday’s clash between traders and tax collectors.

The PUNCH reports thahttps://www.nairaland.com/7392840/real-owners-lagos-locked-alabat one person was feared killed and several others injured on Wednesday when traders clashed with some tax collectors, aka agberos, at the Alaba International Market, in the Ojo Local Government Area of Lagos State.

The warring factions, who were in their hundreds, deployed different weapons, including stones, cutlasses, wood and axes, during the affray.

A video clip seen by our correspondent on social media and confirmed to be from the clash, showed the two groups hurling cudgels at one another.

But in a statement on Thursday, the Alaba International Amalgamated Traders association said the need to protect lives and properties informed their decision to shut down the market.

“The extreme extortion going on, especially between Volkswagen bus stop and Alaba market is becoming so unbearable as traders are made to pay a fully cleared container or a truck a whooping sum of N70,000 to N100,000 before they can be allowed to convey their goods to the market; it is the same for those supplying goods from their warehouses.

“For traders who cannot afford or who hesitate to pay are either beaten up or wounded. Sadly enough, only yesterday we woke up to the information that a new loading point was to be instituted on the already constricted Alaba road which has already been taken over by petty traders who were given portions to display wares to the detriment of existing shop owners, also completely defacing this market of international repute.

“To ensure this issue was handled amicably, the Alaba amalgamated leaders quickly contacted the executive chairman of Ojo Local Government who promised to call them to order, we also contacted the interim caretaker committee chairman who also promised to call them to order but surprisingly on Tuesday the 19TH of October we were greeted with chaos in our market as hoodlums that we cannot quantify trooped into the market with guns, machete, and other dangerous weapons; shooting and maiming both buyers and traders who are doing their legitimate business to the extent that some were killed and several other wounded.

“To this end, we want to say enough is enough! The Alaba international market traders association has decided to shut down the entire market till further notice to avoid further loss of lives and property and will remain shut till:

“These criminals are arrested and brought to justice. The Removal of all kiosks/petty traders causing blockade along Alaba international market road. That all toll collection points will be at the Volkswagen bus stop and the chemists’ bus stop. The Reduction in outrageous fees collected from containers, trucks, and other vehicles,”.

This is the type of news Tinubu agberos hate to hear

Truly God is too merciful.Can the animal try stealing from the shrine of Sango,Amadioha or any other deity, and get away easy?

Are all the aforementioned not God?

Godoverevery:
It depends on how you want it.

Have told my parent and fiancée my budget for my wedding is 1.5 million if anyone isn't ok with what I present feel free not to attend.

My plan is too have my white and traditional wedding on the same day.

A nice venue of of 300k will used for both ......in the morning a pastor will conduct the white wedding ceremony with few people from both family.

From 1pm the traditional wedding and reception will hold at the same time.

Break down of my budget.
Venue 300k
Food and drinks 500k
Decoration etc 200
Photo and video 200k
Unforseen expenses 200k

I no my parent will want something bigger but any money they drop won't be spent on my wedding.
The clothes will be using is not an issh.

I could easily have a wedding of 3million budget with few support from my sibling and parent but nah.

Left to me I won't even have any wedding ceremony..

Lolz. Better go ask those who have done wedding before for proper advice

Can't we use phone to reduce cost?

Nlfpmod

This is what majority did not know. I went to a friend child dedication last year, the photographer the guy hired disappointed him I used my phone to snap and recorded everything after the event I sent the the pictures and videos to the guy through xender he took it to photo studio and print it out, the pictures and videos was very fine

Sir the youths voted in Ekiti and Osun. In fact, for Osun, the two leading parties had to bring in musical artist with huge following among the youths yet lp got 2k votes. These two states of Osun and Ekiti are among the states with the highest literacy rate and internet penetration. If you pay close attention to the numbers and dynamics in those recent elections you will even place SDP over lp.

Why did I refer to the huge polling station numbers and having political office holders?

it is to emphasise the huge scale of planning, funding and logistics that a small party like lp can not deliver. Presidential election is huuge and reaching far flung places in large lamd mass states especially in the north is an uphill task. So uphill that you need political alliances to achieve it. There are far flung places where the only parties they know are just PDP and APC.

I love numbers and it is easy to create an emperical model from the numbers and extrapolate. As at today, the best model so far is the Osun result and it is a disastrious outing for lp. All our diaspora guys are out of tune with the reality and are not voting but hope that the hype will help when 90% of registered voters in the north are not even on social media according to HE Atiku.

LP party did not prepare for Osun governorship election, besides you should understand that every election has it Peculiarity Adeleke was the candidate osun citizen want

The only Tinubu legacy is Agboro

I must call Joshua a wife man for dodging this fight, if you know you know

Reno has really lost it
When did Nigeria ban importation of goods.
Is this how this man going to campaign for Atiku?

BabaO2:
The old man is bitter because Tinubu won APC candidacy against all his poor calculations and expectations to turn himself to thin god.
No one cares about a frustrated old man that cant even offer himself to be voted for only to be envious of the real omoluabis like most revered Uncle Bola ige, Asiwaju Tinubu ,,,,

Respect old age so that you shall live long

It's Igbo turn to produce president of Nigeria and Peter Obi is the man

trutharena:
Asiwaju Tinubu is the visionary candidate who will lead Nigeria to the promise land, just as Moses led the people of Israel to the promised land. Please vote for him to enable Nigerians to prosper.

Is that why he killed Funsho Williams?

OkutaNla:
Lie from the pits of hell. Those victims were considered to be massob members. PitObi ordered the hit on them through his hitman James Nnwafor. Till today James' whereabouts are unknown thanks to PitObi efforts to cover up his atrocities. But one day for the thief. He will be apprehended and made to confess to his crimes and finger his original sponsors, especially PitObi.

The same Peter Obi you guys called Ipob member? You people are really confuse

Truly APC is a confuse party

oyin44:
Without the southern Ally how can you win ?

Nigerians are 100% correct to say

Atiku is nothing but a huge failure .

Maybe there are reasons while God does not want Atiku to be president

Jeo Igbokwe does not know he has zero electoral values

candidtalk:
You don't understand the structure of Nigerian politics and that is why you have ignorant and unrealistic expectations.

The President is not a Messiah. He is head of the executive arm that has to work with other arms of the governance, like the legislative arm, to deliver solutions for Nigeria.

Most of what will reform Nigeria permanently and create our most fundamentally transformational solutions, like constitutional review and deliverance of State policing, need major input from the legislative arm.

If Obi is head of the executive yet Labour is almost wholly absent in the legislative arm then only an ignorant kid will not be able to work out that the most important solutions for Nigeria won't and cannot be delivered under an Obi Presidency.

Those who will vote will also vote for other Labour Party contestants.

Mstick:
Apart from tribalism do you APC clowns have any other campaign strategy?

Nothing really

sarrki:
Now you are selling us a leader of a terrorist organization

Peter is Ipobians defacto leader

Nairaland have grown past this line you need to update, meanwhile nobody takes lunatic like you serious on this forum

IboHausaYoruba:
Don't trust politicians please. Chimaroke just like Wike and that Labour Party's chairman in Lagos might be secretly working for Asiwaju. Jagaban is a badass godfather of street, he was born in the street, grew up and has all the street credibility to run the street. I won't be surprised personally.

Even dead person

Wike should defect to APC and try his popularity there

Kingozymandias:
See what supporting Tinubu has caused baba .
This Benue man is talking like someone under hypnosis. He is confused and in pains because Nigeria rejected Tinubu . This almost 40 year old Benue man goes around different threads typing totally off topic comments like something is wrong ..

If this thread was about latest iPhone . This old man's comment would be - ipob want to spoil Nigeria with fake products. totally off topic!!

If this thread was about price of garri getting higher - this old man's comment would be something like - Atiku keeps making FOOLISH tweets on twitter doesn't he have a PR manager .
This baba keeps writing comments totally off point .
This one pass joke o... Go through his posts , there is something wrong somewhere.

If this thread was about buhari commissioning a new road somewhere - this old man will comment something like , the new Tecno phone is used by ISWAP the government should investigate ipob ...

Jokes apart pls let us watch this man closely .. he might be experiencing mid life crisis or something similar

The idiot is not old man but old fool

You can not be with APC and still have your senses intact

asanausana91:
I have read it in and out. The Constitution made the governor the chief security officer of his state.
The duty of every governor is to provide security and welfare for his people.
Stop being a zombie please.

You know all this and you are supporting Tinubu with Shettima as his vice? What happened under Peter obi can you compare with bornu state under Shettima?

Lolz

They have forgotten about 1 million boys in Tinubu lagos and its environs.
Evans did all his kidnapping escaped in lagos state Tinubu

flejnr2:
Allow the dead to Rest In Peace, if u exhume the corpse e go use koboko follow up the lawyer and the judge. Fight for joint custody of the proceeds of the marriage being the children with the in-laws

The daughter should be buried according to Igbo tradition to avoid trouble in the future

kingthreat:
So upon all your strongman, na woman dey knack your wife.
So upon all your strongman, na woman fall you?
Say no to cultism. But in the meanwhile, why are they knacking egede on a dead body. Is that not unhealthy and unsafe?

That small girl for that matter

Bleep the crown
