Sanwo-Olu Gives Traders Two Days Ultimatum To Evacuate Railway Tracks 


The Governor of Lagos State, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has warned traders along railway tracks to evacuate their goods within two days.


During a visit to the Agege station of the Red Line Rail Project on Wednesday, the governor addressed some traders, saying that the rail way was not a market place and he did not want any loss of lives.


He said, "This is not a market. It is government road for transportation. I'm giving you two days to leave this place because we're coming to clear everything next week.


"You can't trade here at all. That is why I came to tell you myself. I want all of you out of here.


"We have spent a lot on this place for transportation. Trains will be passing here almost every ten minutes and I don't want lives to be wasted."
