“Within the last two weeks, we have impounded about 16,000 litres of AGO from different spots in the state.

 

“Some of the places we went to, we met a lot of hostilities, so we make sure that we destroy the capacity of the perpetrators from continuing in the business and quickly exit the area to avoid human casualties.

 

“Some of these hawkers work like cartels, once they see security officials they attack and escape but we make sure we impound the products,” he said.

 

Fadeyi further said he had contacted the leadership of the parks and their unions for a meeting because of the negative impact the activities of the hawkers have on their integrity.
