BREAKING: Lagos shuts Idera market for filth

By Oyebola Owolabi

The Lagos State government has shut the Idera Market in Oshodi-Isolo Local Council Development Area for filth.

Corps Marshal of the Lagos Environmental Sanitation Corps, popularly known as KAI, Maj. Olaniyi Olatunbosun (rtd), said ‘the market stinks’.

He said: “We shut Idera market because it stinks. They have probably not cleared the drainages for over one year and everywhere was smelly. So we shut the market based on the commissioner’s directive. And when they are ready to do the proper thing, the market will be reopened. It might take days or weeks, but it has to be clean.

“Though they complained of ineffective PSP operators in clearing their waste, but we found out that they most likely don’t even patronise the PSP operators. Beside, Idera is not the only market in the Oshodi area so let them do the right thing by cleaning their space and the market will be reopened.”
