Commercial drivers in Anambra State have protested what they called the increasing number of touts in all parts of the state, following their alleged encouragement by the state government.
They claimed that government-sponsored touts have introduced and duplicated all manner of levies which, they said, have negatively impacted on their daily income.
According to the protesting drivers, under the present administration, all manner of uniforms are parading in the markets and streets, harassing people and forcing them to pay for one receipt or the other. He said: “ There are so many of them with different uniforms on the roads claiming to be revenue agents. We don’t know which is which. They collect money for goods and wares brought into Anambra markets, which they call ‘Ego Ibu’, meaning ‘money for load’. This action is affecting prices of goods and services as the cost of items keeps increasing.
“To perfect their evil motives, the revenue agents no longer use the POS as agreed upon by the state government, but rather collect cash at both the borders and markets.
