Hello everyone, this is to inform you that there would be no fresh meats in Lagos state tomorrow, Friday September 12. This is because the State Butchers Association has ordered its members across the state to stay off all markets in order to honour one of their founding members, Alhaji Abdul-Raimi Balogun, who would be buried at Bolade, Oshodi, Lagos, that day.
The statement reads, “As the Ipesa-Balogun family of Oshodi, Lagos, holds the final burial ceremony of their late father, Alhaji Abdul-Raimi Balogun, this Friday, the Lagos State Butchers Association has directed its members across the state to stay off all markets on the day in his honour.
“We hereby declare September 12, 2014, as a work-free day to all our members in Lagos State to honour and perform Fidau prayer for our founding member, Alhaji Abdul-Raimi Balogun.
“We implore the general public to note that fresh meat will accordingly not be available on the day.”
A treasurer of the association between 1995 and 2004, Alhaji Balogun, who is also the father of Afeez Ipesa-Balogun, erstwhile Chairman, Oshodi/Isolo Local Government, operated as a butcher at the Bolade, Oshodi Slaughter Slab, beside the Ikeja Military Cantonment on relocation from the Ogungbaye Slaughter Slab, Awolowo Market, Mushin, until he passed on June 7.
His great grand father,grand father were butchers, his father and himself are butchers so instead of using the dailies to convey this message to their esteemed customers he chooses to use naijapals.
