Engineer Kolawole Oyewole, Chairman of the association, disclosed these tragic developments and the traders’ ongoing protests. They had previously appealed to both the Olubadan and Governor Seyi Makinde for intervention.

Oyewole has called for an immediate halt to the demolitions and compensation for the damages incurred. He emphasized the need for a suspension of further demolition activities to facilitate meaningful discussions.

“Our means of livelihood have been destroyed, and we have lost two of our members,” Oyewole stated. “We speak for ourselves, and we hope our concerns will be addressed promptly.”
