ABEOKUTA: There was a pandemonium at Lafenwa market in Abeokuta North local government area of Ogun State as the market head, otherwise known as ‘Iyaloja’, Alhaja Sidi Owe was allegedly seized goods worth over N1 million belonging to a trader in the market, Mrs. Adetoun Oyenekan over a disagreement.Oyenekan, who sells baby toys and stationery, claimed that the goods carted away by the market leaders worth over N1 million.
She explained that the brawl ensued after the market leader slapped her several times and she retaliated. “The next thing she did was to get a red and white tape to seal off my stall. I protested, I asked her to tell me what I did wrong. “Instead of dragging issues with her, I, as the Iyaloja, went to call the task force to seal off her stall with tape. When they were about to run the tape round her stall, she started cursing the task force, so they stood away. When the task force could not do it, I took the tape, thinking she would fear me a bit. But she pushed me again.
Asked about Oyenekan’s goods, the Iyaloja retorted, “If she wants to sue us, she should go to court. The market’s lawyer would respond.”
