- “The traders in these markets, aside from operating illegally, deface the land spaces with wastes and animal droppings, while those of them that trade in livestock, especially chicken and turkey, litter the spaces with blood clot
The Ogun State Government has issued a strong warning to ‘emergency’ ram and other livestock sellers to desist from converting any available open spaces into markets, saying offenders will be prosecuted.
Special Adviser to Governor Dapo Abiodun on Environment, Ola Oresanya, who gave the warning in a statement, said aside from the fact that the emergency markets were illegal, they were being operated in an unhealthy and filthy environment.
Oresanya also added that some of the livestock traders operate illegally by the roadsides, thereby causing heavy gridlock and exposing themselves and their customers to avoidable road accidents.
According to Oresanya, “The traders in these markets, aside from operating illegally, deface the land spaces with wastes and animal droppings, while those of them that trade in livestock, especially chicken and turkey, litter the spaces with blood clot and other foul-smelling wastes, which will contaminate the environment and spread diseases,” he stated.

The Ogun state government thereby urged ’emergency’ ram and livestock sellers to have a rethink or be ready to face the consequences as health officers would be on duty to enforce the new order and prosecute offenders.
