Summary

Single-source ACLED detection — awaiting independent verification. On April 8, 2025, traders from Alegongo Market in Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria staged a peaceful protest at the State Government Secretariat against government plans to evict them from their market location. The protesters called on the state Governor to intervene and provide assistance to preserve their livelihoods.

Supply chain impact

No commodities or chokepoints are directly mapped to this event; second-order effects depend on how the situation escalates and whether similar market displacement issues spread to other trading centers in the region.

Watch points

• Monitor for government response to trader demands and whether eviction plans proceed as scheduled
• Track potential expansion of similar protests to other markets in Oyo State or broader southwestern Nigeria
