Normal trading activities have resumed at the Sasha market in Ibadan, Oyo state, following the directive by the state governor, Seyi Makinde.
Makinde had ordered the reopening of the market on Tuesday after its closure last week Friday following a crisis that erupted between Hausa and Yoruba traders which led to the death of several people and destruction of property.
The governor had said that the decision to reopen the school was reached after a meeting with the leaders of the two ethnic groups and other critical stakeholders.
Reports say both wholesale and retail trades businesses were carried out in the market since the market was reopened on Tuesday, and traders accommodated those whose shops were burnt during the mayhem.
Several Nigerian leaders had condemned the violence at the market and urged the traders to live in peace with one another.
Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has said the Shasha market was a symbol of Nigerian unity, where traders from the North have done business with their brothers from the Southwest and they have lived in peace and even inter-married for decades.
