The leadership of the market also shut the market in memory of the 28-year-old Onu, aka Scatter, who lost his life when members of the Nigerian Air force stormed the market on Tuesday July 13.They are currently receiving treatment at the Lagos State Teaching Hospital . Onu, an indigene of Ebonyi State, until his death, was the Public Relations Officer of In God We Trust branch of the market.
“The soldiers took laws into their hands and we are here talking about a kick-starter of N3, 500 leading to the death of a person and many are in the hospital. It’s unfortunate that soldiers will come into the market and start shooting traders as if they are animals. We are going to take this matter to the highest authority to make sure we get justice.
“Ladipo market is the biggest automobile in West Africa, but as of now, we are not talking about how much we lost, we are talking about lives, and seeking justice,” he added. For the counsel to the association, Obiora Umeh, what happened on Tuesday was one of several cases of intimidation from the military who came to buy goods from the market.
MEANWHILE, the Rule of Law and Accountability Advocacy Centre , yesterday called on the Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, to order a prompt and impartial investigation into the shooting at Ladipo Market on Tuesday by soldiers.
