A popular market in Lagos State, Ladipo Market has been set ablaze by unknown men.
This market was set on fire shortly after the presidential election in Lagos State where the former governor of Lagos State, Bola Ahmed Tinubu was trailing his close opponent, former governor of Anambra state and presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi.
The burnt market which is popularly known as Ladipo market is a market that is dominated by Nigerians of the south-east extraction, the Igbos.
The man who defeated Tinubu in his state of Lagos also hails from the Southeastern region. Hence, the reason for the attack by unknown men.
