The Lagos state government has sealed the popular Alade Market in the Ikeja area of Lagos state. The closure was carried out on Thursday, May 19 by the Lagos state waste management authority (LAWMA) as a result of poor environmental sanitation exercise. There have been reports of impending closure of the market and a relocation of the traders although it is not known if the closure is connected to this.
The entrance into the market was shut with a warning barring the traders from entering the place. A similar exercise was carried out in the Owonifari market in Oshodi in Lagos some months ago also on the ground that the market was an eyesore. The market was eventually demolished and the traders relocated.
