There is palpable fear in Anambra State following plans by the state government to eject widows from the Cooperative Society market in Ogbaru local government area of the State.
A patron of Anambra State Markets Amalgamated Traders Association , Chief Rommy Ezeonwuka warned against ejecting the widows from the place. He said, “90 percent of the traders in the market are widows who sell perishables. Some of them are spirits and whoever that inflicts pains on them will have repercussion.
“Most of them live in Okpoko and relocating them to a new site will be inconvenient for them to trade due to distance, lack of security and good infrastructure,” he added.
