Samson FolarinA coalition of 18 trade unions at the Computer Village, Ikeja, Lagos, has protested against the alleged imposition of illegal levies on traders by the Iyaloja General, Folashade Tinubu-Ojo. Our correspondent was told that Tinubu-Ojo allegedly imposed a Iyaloja and a Babaloja on the traders in June 2019. The new market leaders, who displaced the existing leadership arrangement, allegedly introduced new levies. The spokesperson for the coalition of trade unions in Computer Village, Nonso Bethel, said some hoodlums working for the new leaders, started charging outrageous sums. However, our correspondent gathered that leaders of the coalition were in a meeting with Tinubu-Ojo to resolve the issues.
