A popular market in Ikeja, Lagos State, Alade Market has been close down. The market was shut down on Saturday over traders and state government disagreement to relocate the market to a new site.
Traders at the market had continued to clash with government
officials over the latter’s plans to forcibly move them out of their current
location.
Meanwhile, on Friday, thugs allegedly invaded the market to
harass the traders, a situation that led to chaos and near unrest in the
market. Subsequently, on Saturday, the state government shut down the entire
market.
