Scores of traders and butchers at the newly constructed Wazobia (Wazo) market in Ogbomoso, Oyo State have been locked out of their shops.
It was gathered that the traders were locked out on Friday.
The development was sequel to the execution of the judgment of an Oyo State High Court sitting in Ogbomoso, on 26th August this year which was in favour of J.A. Ladeji and Sons (Nig). Ltd., the firm claiming possession of the land.
Our correspondent gathered that the plaintiff instituted the case to recover the 1.875 hectare land from the state government which allocated it to butchers through Ogbomoso North local government earlier this year.
But, Justice K.B. Olawoyin in a judgement delivered on 26th August, 2024 granted an order in favor of the claimant against the defendant for the claimant to take over the parcel of land.
