Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, on Sunday, issued a three-day ultimatum to traders under the Apongbon Bridge in Lagos Island to vacate or risk demolition of the space by Wednesday.
Sanwo-Olu gave the warning while driving on the bridge, during the inspection of the blue line rail project.

The governor gave the warning upon realising that the traders were back under the bridge with their goods displayed after they were driven away in the aftermath of the fire outbreak under the bridge about six weeks ago.
Sanyo-Olu frowned at the unlawful return of the traders under the bridge, saying that the enforcement team would be deployed to the bridge after the three-day ultimatum.
