four bulldozers escorted by armed police officers demolished the complex, leaving shop owners shocked and devastated. The traders claim that the demolition was unjust and forced them to seek legal redress. Despite the Nigeria Police Force’s insistence that the complex was allocated to the wives and relatives of police officers, the traders argue that justice has not been served.
The case has been delayed due to the promotion of the initial judge assigned to it, and a new judge is yet to take over. One of the aggrieved traders, Olufemi, lamented that the substantive case has not even begun, and construction has resumed on the land despite a pending court injunction. The traders are struggling to pay lawyers and transport themselves to court, with some having lost everything, including their lives and livelihoods.
Another affected trader, Obinna, popularly known as Obiwest, stated that the prolonged court process is exacerbating their situation, draining them financially, physically, and mentally. The traders are appealing for justice and compensation for their losses.
