Lagos traders complain of thugs

Meanwhile, Legit.ng earlier reported that members of the Ikota Traders Association were protesting what they described as the ‘unlawful’ demolition of their business premises by the Lagos State Ministry of the Environment officials.

On September 15, 2022, the officials of the Environment Ministry led by Architect Gbolahan Oki and Engineer Omotosho, accompanied by police officers and thugs, stormed the Ikota market.

It was gathered that they crushed and demolished to the ground property worth millions of naira. The Traders say there was no prior notice before the demolition.
