A trader, who spoke with Daily Trust on the condition of anonymity, blamed the FCT authorities for inflicting hardship on the traders in the market.
Reacting, Senior Special Assistant to FCT Minister on Enforcement, Ikharo Attah, said the demolition was to address the worrisome and disturbing experience of motorists who pass through the Karu market part of the Nyanya-Karu-Karshi road.
