Life And Property Threatened As Riot Breaks Out In Lagos

OpenLife Nigeria reports that riot has broken out in Lagos.
Eyes witness account says life and property are threatened.
According to information, the fight is between traders and agberos in Alaba International Market, Lagos.
Insiders hinted that there are traders who trade on the streets and the market executives agreed to stop people from selling on the road sides which attracted the agberos for tax collection, something they can’t do to traders in their shops.
So the agberos then decided to start collecting tax from the shops too and that’s the genesis.

What is playing out this Wednesday, according to a source, is the thugs taking over the market and the traders ended up resisting them.

Alaba is populated by Igbo traders. But lots of people are of the belief that they are unprotected by the government of Lagos.
