The Lagos State Government on Tuesday shut down the Oshodi Resettlement Market following an attack on officials of the Lagos State Environmental Sanitation Corps during an enforcement operation.
The closure was announced in a post shared on the official X handle of the Commissioner for Environment and Water Resources, Tokunbo Wahab.
According to him, the decision followed violent resistance by traders who allegedly attacked enforcement officers and disrupted an ongoing operation.
He stated that the traders also prevented officials from arresting hoodlums and beggars who allegedly vandalised operational vehicles belonging to the agency during the exercise.
“Oshodi Resettlement Market, Oshodi has been shut down. Traders at the market attacked officers and personnel of the Lagos State Environmental Sanitation Corps, prevented them from arresting hoodlums and beggars who vandalised the agency’s operational vehicles during an enforcement operation earlier today,” the statement read.
The government did not state when the market would be reopened.
