While speaking with NAN, Galadima said the area was turned into a haven for criminal activities.
He added that the miscreants operating in the area were affecting the aesthetic quality of the entire environment
“The operation will help us get rid of the hoodlums and drug dealers that have taken over the place. We had demolished the place about three times, but the nuisances rebuilt and continued their activities.”
“This time around, the demolished market will remain demolished. We need to sanitise the place and enhance the aesthetic quality of the environment. It is also part of the current administration’s policy of sanitising the city, and this is one of the areas we are commencing the exercise,”
