The suspects, Taiwo Abeeb, 53; Ismaila Adeniji, 35 and Akeem Kelani, 40 were arrested during the close down of Agbado Oke-Odo market over environmental infractions. Corps Marshal of the Agency, Gbemisola Akinpelu, said the suspects will be charged to court for onward prosecution. The retired Commissioner of Police emphasised the need for markets to maintain a high level of hygiene through appropriate dumping of refuse via approved PSP operators, adding that the setbacks and lay-bys of external market premises must not accommodate street traders and hawkers.
