Alaba market traders, hoodlums clash, one feared killed

“They are always increasing the money they charge us. They overcharge us when trucks want to load and offload our goods. Dispatch riders are also overcharged, thereby reducing the amount we gain as they increase the cost of their services which we make use of when people order our goods online,” he added.

Another trader, Augustine Ikenna, said the protesters were permitted by the chairman of the market association to demonstrate after a meeting on Wednesday. A resident, who asked to be identified simply as Nkechi, feared for the safety of those in the neighbourhood. She said, “We are not safe. I saw the rioters brandishing axes and swords; I even heard gunshots. I hope this won’t lead to a situation where they will start going from house to house at night to rob people.”The state Police Public Relations Officer, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, confirmed the incident, adding that normalcy had been restored.All rights reserved.
