The Lagos state governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has given a 2-day ultimatum to traders in Agege to vacate the train tracks. 

The governor gave the ultimatum after paying a visit to the Agege Station of the Red Line Rail on Wednesday, September 27.

While addressing traders selling their wares on the train track, Sanwo-Olu said

“It is a government road that is why government built everything, it’s for transportation not for the market, am telling you now, I have given you two days’ notice, everyone selling chicken they are coming to pack everything next week, you can’t stay here it’s impossible that is the reason am came myself.

We cannot have government after have invested a lot of money in these things and we are not able to use it, are you listening to me, I have told you. that’s why it’s going to be on the news and newspaper I we don’t want anybody to die when the train starts working because the train is scheduled to pass here every 10 minutes and I don’t want anybody to die here, I don’t want Wahala so all of you leave and I am going to block all the market that no one would be able to pass here.”
