Business activities remained at a standstill on Wednesday as the Oshodi Resettlement Market in Lagos remained shut following its closure by the Lagos State Government over the alleged assault of officials of the Lagos State Environmental Sanitation Corps (LAGESC), popularly known as KAI.
A visit to the market showed all entrances under lock and key, with official closure notices displayed at various entry points.
Traders were seen loitering around the market premises, while others gathered in small groups awaiting updates on efforts to reopen the facility. Commercial activities were completely halted, leaving many business owners uncertain about their livelihoods.
Although market leaders were unavailable for comment, some traders who spoke anonymously said discussions were ongoing between market representatives and government authorities to resolve the issues that led to the closure.
