At least, one person was feared killed in the Alaba area of Lagos State following a clash between traders at the Alaba International Market and area boys.
It was gathered that the confrontation, which began in the early hours of Wednesday, led to the closure of the market as traders refused to open.
It was further learnt that the development followed the move by the Lagos State Government to clear the roads around the market of illegal loading by commercial buses and traders displaying their ways illegally.
This took place on Tuesday when a task force cleared the area.
However, according to available information, the area boys decided to fight back in the early hours of Wednesday to restore the source of their livelihood, as they feed from collecting money from commercial bus drivers.
