Traders at the popular Ikosi-Ketu Fruit Market bewailed their losses on Friday as two bulldozers were used to pull down shops in the market, crushing the traders’ wares in the process.
The Ikosi-Isheri Local Council Development Area had reportedly awarded the reconstruction of the market to Total Value Integrated Service Limited. Some protesters were said to have hauled objects at the police who responded by shooting into the air and firing teargas canisters to disperse the crowd. Some of the traders lamented that they were informed about the demolition sometime ago, adding that they were not told it would be pulled down on Friday.
He said, “While I was rushing to find a place where I could move my wares to, one of the bulldozers crushed my shop. That was my only source of livelihood and I have four children. I would have packed out if I knew they would come for the demolition today .”
