 IGBO TRADERS IN IFO, OGUN STATE SHUTDOWN THEIR BUSINESSES OVER THE STABBING TO DEATH OF AN IGBO WOMAN




A woman identified as Blessing Eze(Mrs), mother of two have been stabbed to death in Ogun State. The incident occured when some touts began taxing traders over the Eid Mubarak festival of Muslim faithfuls that took place yesterday June 6, 2025, each trader was asked to pay ₦1,500. On getting to Late Mrs Eze, she told them she doesn’t have money as at the time they came, they should come back, as touts they are, they started destroying her goods, which she dragged one of them and asking him to arrange her goods properly and come back, not that she won't pay but she doesn't have it as at that time because she has not sold anything. That's how one of them stabbed her on the chest which later led to her death.


So today, Igbo Market Union at Ifo market in solidarity and mourning shutdown   their businesses in protest. Saying before this woman's death, they have been experiencing assault and intimidation from those group of touts. They have declared 4 days mourning which Igbo trader will not display goods rather it will be for protest until relevant authorities intervene on the matter especially the State Government.


This is highly despicable and the law must take a just course on the perpetrators of these heinous crime.
