The Nigerian military has reopened the popular Banex Plaza in Wuse 2 area of Abuja for business after over a week of siege on the market.
According to reports the plaza resumed operations around 2:30pm on Monday.
The market was sealed by military authorities on May 18, following a violent clash between traders and military personnel.
Trouble started when thugs allegedly beat up some soldiers who had a disagreement with a trader in the plaza.
The trader had reportedly sold a bad phone to someone who invited soldiers.
The police stepped in to resolve the situation, but soldiers later stormed the plaza, forcing traders to shut down immediately.
