The move follows the state governor’s directive to stamp out trading on highways and other major streets in the Lagos metropolis.

The Lagos State Environmental Sanitation and Special Offences Unit has “cleared” traders off the Oshodi railway track and Apongbon Bridge.

The task force chairperson, Shola Jejeloye, during the exercise, said several notices had been served on the traders, especially those at the Oshodi rail track. The agency’s boss stated that they ought to arrest both buyers and sellers in the area but, to “avoid double jeopardy”, seized only the goods found on the Oshodi rail tracks.
