Speaking during an interview with NAN, some traders at Ile-epo food market have lamented, adding that the protest had reduced the amount of people who come to buy from them, thus they have to slash the prices.

NAN gathered that some traders who sell perishable goods dropped their prices to minimize loss.

Aliu said:

“A 50kg basket of tomatoes now sells for between N40,000 and N50,000 as against N80,000 to N100,000 two weeks ago.

“A 25kg basket sells between N18,000 and N19,000 as against N30,000 to N40,000 two weeks ago.

 

“We have no choice but to sell off because few customers are available to buy the produce. The purchasing power is actually low at the moment.”

 

Also speaking on this, another trader, Mukit Afolabi said;

“On Day 1 of the protest, tomatoes were even cheaper because there was no one to buy.

“I bought 5kg basket of tomatoes at N4,000. As of two weeks ago, it was sold for N12,000. So, I think the protest is contributory to the drop in price.

 

“However, rodo (scotch bonnet pepper) is still expensive. On Monday, a bag was sold for N40,000 but today, a bag sells at N84,000 because it is currently unavailable in the market.

“No produce truck has delivered any pepper since Wednesday, the day before the protest began,” Afolabi told NAN.

 

Ahmed disclosed:

“A 50kg bag of short grain rice now sells for N73,000 as against N83,000 last month. While the long grain sells for N78,000 per 50 kg bag as against N87,000 to N88,000.

“A paint bucket of honey beans now sells for N10,000 as against N12,000 it was sold in July.

“Other varieties now sell for between N8,000 and N9,000.”
