Governor
of Lagos State, Akinwunmi Ambode has ordered the closure of the popular Mile 12
Market and also imposed curfew on four streets in the area as a result of the
mayhem that engulfed the area today.
Members
of the Hausa and Yoruba community in the area had clashed, leading to the
burning of houses and churches in the area and death of three people.
Briefing
newsmen on the matter at the State House, Ikeja, the Governor said;
“In
order to further restore calm in the community, I have ordered that the Mile 12
market be temporarily shut and urge traders and other stakeholders to eschew
violence and be law abiding. Furthermore, I have ordered temporary restriction
of movement in four streets-Oniyanrin, Maidan, Agiliti 1 and 11 streets,” he
said.
