Sanwo-Olu gives 3-day ultimatum to Apongbo Bridge traders

By Florence Onuegbu/Lagos

Gov. Babajide Sanwo-Olu on Sunday issued a three day ultimatum to traders under the Apongbon Bridge in Lagos Island to vacate or risk demolition of the space by Wednesday.

Sanwo-Olu gave the warning while driving on the bridge, during the inspection of the blue line rail project.

He saw that traders were back under the bridge with their goods displayed after they were driven away in the aftermath of the fire that occurred four weeks ago.

The governor frowned at the unlawful return of the traders.

He said the enforcement team would be deployed to the bridge on the expiration of the ultimatum.
