Photos: 100 year old Mushin market demolished

The market that has been in existence for over one hundred years was yesterday demolished by the Lagos state government via the Mushin Local Council. The government is planning to build an ultra-modern market in its place.

The traders at the Mushin Ajina market, who were given two weeks notice in early September to vacate the market, protested for several weeks because they knew they may not be able to afford rent for the new market structure.
