Traders’ chairman denies selling off doors of demolished shops in Aba market

Published

on

The Chairman of Ekeoha-Aba Shopping Centre Traders Association, Emeka Okeke has denied recent allegations that some doors of demolished shops within the market were illegally sold off during the ongoing remodeling of the centre.

This was in response to allegations by some aggrieved traders that iron doors to their shops in the demolished section of the Ekeoha-Aba market were taken away or sold without their consent.

But Okeke clarified that every single door that was removed under his supervision was properly handled in accordance with due process, as directed by the government.

He emphasized that all removable fittings, particularly the shop doors, were meticulously documented and returned to their rightful owners, either directly to the shop owners or to their duly authorized representatives.

According to him, any doors that remained unaccounted for were likely taken away in haste by some shop owners or their tenants before the arrival of the official demolition task force.

He added that none of the doors removed by the task force was misplaced or sold illegally, as there was a dedicated team responsible for the collection, documentation, and return of the fittings.

Comrade Okeke also recalled that in a general town hall meeting of the market when the allegation first surfaced during the early stages of the demolition, the Chief Security Officer of the market, who was fingered in the alleged illegal sale, challenged anyone with evidence of his involvement to tender evidence.

Meanwhile, the Special Adviser to Abia State Governor on trade, commerce and industry, Nwaka Inem last week visited the traders of Ekeoha market to assure them that no order was given by Abia State government for a fresh demolition in the market.

The reported killing of an Igbo trader in Ogun State has attracted condemnation from the Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council Worldwide.

The group has therefore asked the Ogun State Government to ensure justice for the victim’s family.

It was alleged that the victim, a woman, Blessing Eze, was killed at Ifo Market, in Ogun State by a gang.

The armed group, said to be parading as government agents, were said to have stabbed Blessing on the chest, resulting in her death.

Sources said her offence was refusing to pay a N1,500 religious levy imposed on the traders at the market.

Reacting, the National President of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council Worldwide, Mazi Okwu Nnabuike asked the Ogun State Government to provide clear details on what led to the death of the Igbo woman.

“We need to know why she was killed; who are those behind her gruesome murder?

“What has the government done to get justice for her? Have the perpetrators been arrested?

“The Ogun State government has to respond appropriately. Time has gone when Ndigbo are continuously treated as slaves in their own country.

“This gruesome murder of an innocent Igbo trader would not be condoned; we must fight until she gets justice,” Okwu vowed.

He also called on the Inspector General of Police, IGP Kayode Egbetokun to take over the investigation of the matter.

“We are urgently appealing to the Inspector General of Police, IGP Kayode Egbetokun to take over the investigation of the matter.

“This is the only way to guarantee justice for the victim’s family,” Okwu stated.
