Angry traders at Omolore Market, Abeokuta on Thursday protested the alleged shooting of two of their colleagues by operatives of the Special Anti- Robbery Squad (SARS).

The traders, predominantly Hausa, selling onions, pepper, tomatoes, yam and fruits, allegedly went violent, smashing objects, including the operational vehicle of the Ogun State – owned Television broadcasting station and many other property in sight.
