The respondents orally promised the applicants to begin some sort of resolution process and to stop the further destruction of the market.

But despite the promises given, the destruction of properties and assault on helpless traders by heavily armed thugs has not stopped, it has only increased exponentially.

From the time the motion on Notice was filed up until now, more parts of the Alaba Section of the Mile 12 Market have been destroyed and demolished.

Traders have been forced away from their shops and thugs have been patrolling the area, assaulting anyone that comes close.

The matter has been adjourned to the 19th of January 2023.
