Imo state Hawkers Association, Lambert Ofordire said that the deceased

always treating them with hostilities, chasing them and seizing their
goods at different times, adding that they took to trading to stay off
crime.
He appealed to the state Government to help them by
instructing the ENTRACO officials to allow them do their businesses, as
their hawking was not constituting public nuisance nor a security threat
