Traders and members of the Community Development Association (CDA) at Computer Village, Ikeja yesterday shut the commercial hub to protest against alleged exploitation and high-handedness of the Iyaloja and Babaloja of the market. Vice-Chairman of Ogunbiyi CDA and chairman Coalition Association in Computer Village (COCOVI), Timi Davies, said the latest harassment occurred on Saturday when the Iyaloja brought hoodlums to destroy the security gate being erected to stop thieves from breaking into their stores. On his part, Public Relations Officer of the Commercial Hub, Ademola Olaifa, said it was time the Iyaloja General reconsidered the appointment of the Iyaloja and Babaloja of computer village. They send their boys (hoodlums) to beat up people almost every day and even harass our customers. Reacting, the Iyaloja, Abimbola Azeez, stated that the intention of erecting the gate was to stop her from entering the market.
