the Alhaja Abibatu Mogaji Sunday Retail Market.

The protesters urged the House to use its influence to stop the planned demolition, saying many families could be affected. “This market has been in existence since 1989 and was commissioned by Chief Mariam Babangida in her bid for a better life for rural dwellers. Please don’t take our source of income away from us.

The Iyaloja of Odo Eran, Mrs. Yemisi Ogunlaja, said, “We are here on behalf of the people of Abibatu Mogaji Sunday Retail Market. This demolition will affect many families and their means of livelihood.
