The leaders of the popular Alaba International Market in Ojo Local Government Area of Lagos State have accused the Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu-led government demolishing their buildings in the market with a plan to take off the market from them and hand it over to some Chinese investors who they alleged want to establish a multipurpose market.

The leaders, who made the allegation while reacting to the ongoing demolition in the market, said that neither the local nor the state government notified them of the demolition even though the governments know all the leaders of the market.

"Look at the able men controlling the market, and that is why we have Alaba Amalgamated as head so that when there is a problem, we will go to the appropriate authorities. He said that the notice would have also helped them know how the people will go about the buildings, whether it is about bringing the buildings down and raising them up to a standard or acquiring the necessary documents that need to be acquired or"Do they want to reclaim the land and give it to their so-called business capital that came from China that I heard wants to develop a multipurpose?

"What is worth doing is worth doing well. These are your citizens, brothers, your people. Why can't you give them value? "Even if this thing is going to take place, why not do it in the right way? Why not give your people at least that listening ear? Why can't you hear from the leaders of Alaba?
