The Aragbiji of Iragbiji, Oba Abdulrasheed Olabomi, has banned hawking of phone accessories in the town.
The monarch gave the directive after a delegation of phone accessories traders visited the palace to seek intervention over security concerns.
The traders reportedly told the monarch that robbers have been attacking their shops and carting away goods.
Responding to the concerns in a video obtained by NAIJAONPOINT, Oba Olabomi directed that all phone accessories dealers in Iragbiji must operate from a traceable location, with a known shop and residential address.
The directive, according to the palace, is aimed at improving accountability, security and traceability within the phone accessories business in the town.
