The Lagos State government has announced the closure of the Oshodi Resettlement Market following an attack on officials of the Lagos State Environmental Sanitation Corps (LAGESC) during an enforcement operation.
NEWSNGR reports that the decision was announced by the State Commissioner for Environment and Water Resources, Tokunbo Wahab, in a statement posted on his official 𝕏 Account on Tuesday.

Traders at the market attacked officers and personnel of the Lagos State Environmental Sanitation Corps, prevented them from arresting hoodlums and beggars who vandalised the agency’s operational vehicles during an enforcement operation earlier today,” Wahab wrote.
