Chaos occurred after a
middle-aged lady’s goods got seized by a team of enforcement officers, led by
Cross River State Commissioner for Environment.
The lady reportedly jumped
under a trailer and begged Cross River State Commissioner for Environment to
crush, after he stormed the area to confiscate items sold by petty traders in
front of Oando Filling Station.
Facebook user, George Odok,
who reported the incident, wrote;
Kill me after you have
destroyed my business, woman who enters under a trailer to be crushed tells
Cross River State Commissioner for Environment.
A mild drama happened today
in Calabar in front of the Oando filling station when the Cross River State
Commissioner for Environment led a team of enforcement officers to confiscate
items sold by petty traders in front of the filling station.
Residents in Calabar, who
ply the Calabar highway, are aware of these petty traders who usually stand in front
of the filling stations to sell fruits and other small scale items.
When the commissioner and
his men seized the goods from the women and dump them inside the trailer to
drive away, this woman under this trailer went beneath the trailer and asked
the driver to crush him after her N5,000 business had been taken away from her.
Feelers have it that the
state government had earlier asked petty food and fruits vendors along the
carnival routes to evacuate their businesses for free flow of movement and
neatness, while some areas had been used in planting green grasses to beautify
the city.
What becomes of this woman
and others whose small scale businesses had been taken?
Oh lord may be that is all she has
