Traders in different markets in Lagos have narrated how their wares were destroyed by thugs for supporting the PDP governorship candidate, Abdulazeez ‘Jandor’ Adediran.
The traders spoke at a press conference held by the PDP in the state at the Protea Hotel in Ikeja on Sunday.
The traders recounted their losses after Mr Adediran spoke about the many attacks against his campaign.
The governorship candidate is on a campaign tour of the 245 wards in the state. He has visited 194 so far.
In some of the videos shown at the event, the PDP campaign buses were damaged.
Some thugs mounted roadblocks to prevent the campaign team from accessing the wards while brandishing cutlasses, bottles and stones in the presence of some armed police officers.

One of the traders, Adeniyi Idowu, also known as ‘Iyalaya’, a fruit seller at the Jakande market, said that she got a call that the PDP deputy governorship candidate was at the market entrance.
She said that they had gotten a music band to welcome Ms Akindele who is also an actress into the market but were prevented by some thugs.
She said the market secretary said, “they won’t enter the market.”
However, in a video earlier seen by PREMIUM TIMES, the market secretary said he didn’t get any letter of notification about the visit.
She also claimed that at around 3 p.m., another market executive came and ordered some thugs to destroy the wares of those supporting the opposition while adding that the thugs came with bottles, cutlasses and guns.
Ms Idowu said that they reported to the Ketu police division but no action was taken. She said since the incident occurred, they had not been able to visit the market…
