Festac residents and traders at the Olorunda Oyinlola Market on 23 Road, Festac Town, Lagos have berated Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, for giving the go-ahead on the demolition of the market by officials of the Amuwo Odofin Local Government under the supervision of armed soldiers.
Speaking, one of the traders who is also an owner of the structures pleaded anonymity said: “This is devastating, regrettably we sent the urgent appeal to the Governor to intervene in the matter by preventing the Council Chairman Mr Valentine Buraimoh and his officers from carrying out the threat of pulling down the entire market but it appears it fell on deaf ears.
