Lagos shuts down illegal plank market in Oko-Oba
By Boluwatife Ezekiel Olaleye
The government of Lagos State has ordered the quick closure of an illegal plank market in Oko-Oba Extension, Wright Street located in Yaba Local Coucil Development Area of the State.
This was contained in a statement signed and released by the Commissioner for Local Government and Community Affairs, Hon. Muslim Folami, on Sunday.
The statement read, “The decision to shut down the market was beacuse of the the fact that it had become a security threat as well as a hide out for hoodlums who attack innocent citizens and commuters in the area.
“The State Government, under Governor Akinwunmi Ambode, was passionately and irrevocably committed to the safety of lives and property of residents in the State and would not allow any potential security threat to thrive.”
Folami urged traders in the affected market to comply with the directive, just as he warned that those who flout the order would face the wrath of the law.
