The apex Igbo socio-cultural organisation, Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide has decried the level of destruction of Igbo businesses at the Alaba International Market by the Lagos State government.Ohanaeze has subsequently set up a nine-man committee, chaired by Dr. Charles Odunukwe and Vincent Ikwueze as Committee Secretary to look into all the issues surrounding the demolitions and plight of the Igbo traders in Lagos.
Iwuanyanwu said the government of Lagos State marked only three buildings that were said to be distressed but ended up demolishing 30 buildings. He said the demolished buildings were reallocated to other business concerns a development he said was unacceptable to Ndigbo more so when those properties were originally bought and paid for by Igbo traders.Iwuanyanwu who expressed deep grief over the extent and loss incurred as a result of the demolition exercise, assured the traders that they would overcome the immediate challenges.
