Ogbomoso Traders Stranded As High Court Orders Market Locked Over Land Dispute

Several traders and butchers at the newly constructed Wazobia (Wazo) market in Ogbomoso, Oyo State have been locked out of their shops due to a judgment from an Oyo State High Court on 26th August this year in favor of J.A. Ladeji and Sons (Nig). Ltd.

The plaintiff initiated the case to recover the 1.875 hectares of land from the state government, which was allocated to butchers through the Ogbomoso North local government earlier this year. Justice K.B. Olawoyin granted an order in favor of the claimant against the defendant for the claimant to take over the parcel of land.

On Friday, after obtaining a “warrant for possession,” the judgment enforcement unit of the Oyo State High Court stormed the market to take possession of the section. The enforcement unit was accompanied by some security operatives.

The takeover of the section made it difficult for the butchers and other traders to have access to the facility on Friday. It has been reported that “possession taken by High Court” were pasted at strategic locations in the market. As of the time of filing this report on Saturday, the traders are finding it difficult to have access to their shops.
