The tricycle operators under the auspices of the Anambra Keke Drivers Forum (AKDF) have made fresh appeal to Governor Charles Soludo to help address the multiple taxation, touts extortion and intimidation challenges against them across the state.
The operators decried the governor’s earlier assurance that they would not make any additional payments after paying their statutory taxes.
We are still being compelled to pay numerous levies imposed by both government agencies and non-state actors.
Ifeanyi Okafor, Chairman of the association appealed to the Governor to rescue them from what he described as persistent harassment, intimidation, and extortion by both state and non-state actors.
According to him, despite the establishment of the state’s Anti-Touting Agency to curb the activities of illegal revenue collectors, the touts continue to operate freely at parks, loading points, and along major roads across the state.
He alleged that the touts collect between ₦400 and ₦1,000 daily
