The Vlekete Slave Market is a market located in Badagry, Lagos State. Established in 1502 and named after the Vlekete deity, the market was significant during the Trans-Atlantic Slave trade in Badagry as it served as a business point where African middlemen sold slaves to European slave merchants thus making it one of the most populous slave markets in West Africa.
