Lagos' Ladipo market shut down over killing of trader

A trader, Achuku Ezenwa, who witnessed what led to the shooting, narrated the incident to journalists on Wednesday.

Mr Ezenwa said the market officials explained that they needed to finish with the person before him and this led to an argument. “The officer left and after 10 minutes, he came back with OP Mesa and they started shooting,” he said. The Rule of Law And Accountability Advocacy Centre in a statement on Wednesday urged the Lagos state governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, to look into the crisis.Okechukwu Nwanguma, the executive director of RULAAC, said news of the attack and use of lethal weapons on traders is disturbing.

“The exact details of what actually led to the shooting need to be investigated. But we are concerned about the involvement of military personnel in what appears to be a civil dispute and the use of lethal weapons on unarmed civilians,” the group said. “A call was put across by traders on a fight going on between a soldier of the Nigerian Army and a civilian debtor. Upon receipt of the call, the team moved to the market but was attacked by angry traders who pelted stones at them.
