There was tension on Saturday when officials of the Amuwo-Odofin Local Government Area stormed the Oyinlola Olorunda Market with armed policemen and used a caterpillar to demolish buildings, including

shops, belonging to traders in the market.

“It was at that point that we were told that the council wanted to rebuild the market. We told them that the timing was wrong. We said COVID-19 affected our businesses and there was nothing wrong with the market; the place was allocated to us for 90 years and we had not even spend up to 30 years, so, we told them to officially write us and we left.

“We were not given a specific date for the demolition; no notice was pasted for the demolition, they just came and started demolishing people’s property. The demolition started yesterday and as I speak to you, it is still ongoing,” she added.
