Traders in the popular Osa market in Benin, Edo State have appealed to the Oba of Benin, Ewuare II, to prevail on the Edo State Government to halt the planned demolition of the market.

She said, “We cry to the palace for help as our last resort. When the fire inferno occurred in Ekiosa in 2019, we lost our shops and goods. I lost four shops with goods. We worked hard under the rain and sun, trading along the road and at times, the government task force came and drove us away. We took loans to rebuild our shops.

“We didn’t get support from the government; we did not benefit from the N100 million that was given to traders who lost their shops in the market fire.
