Lagos market traders count losses as armed officers supervise demolition

There was pandemonium at the Jakande market, Ketu Lagos, Friday afternoon as many traders scampered to salvage their goods while others counted their losses due to the demolition of shops.

“At first, they told everybody to go out and those that can pack their goods should do so,” Rashida Abass, another trader said. Mrs Abass said the traders did not yield to the instructions because they were all shocked. Then the bulldozer started demolishing the shops, she said. Although some of the traders said soldiers were involved in the shooting, this reporter only saw armed police officers.

Other traders whose goods had been destroyed in the demolition were seen wailing, counting their losses. Some were seen trying to recover some goods under the rubble.
