Market women in the Delta State capital, Asaba blocked the major roads in the city to protest plans to temporarily relocate the market. Ogbogonogo market is the main market in Asaba which spills into Nnebisi road, causing avoidable traffic.
The women were asked to pay N5,000 each for temporary relocation. These women have been at home for long due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
With the recent spike in corona virus cases in the State, it is quite alarming that this crowd gathered at all.
