Nyong leader said the community called off a plan to stage a peaceful demonstration over forceful eviction of vegetable sellers from Omoliha to Torit Model market.
Nyong Community Chairperson Eddie William told Emmanuel Radio over the phone that businesswomen always travelled long distances to sell commodities, yet they were being pushed to a farther location without customers.
He revealed that elders pledged to arbitrate the case between the Nyong community and the state authority to resolve the matter peacefully instead of protesting.
The leader called for calm and advised community members not abuse the law
The statement followed reports that shop owners closed premises in fear of violence.
Omoliha market in Torit town on Monday witnessed unfavourable business moments as traders closed their shops except a few brave bar and restaurants operators.
