According to a report by The Sun, about 2,000 tricycle operators,
popularly known as Keke NAPEP, yesterday protested in Onitsha, Anambra
State over what they called multiple unauthorised levies collected by
revenue agents.
The protest by tricycle operators under the aegis of KKAWAAWPU
Amalgamated Tricycle Union and the Keke Riders Forum (KRF), grounded
human and vehicular movements for hours in the commercial city.
The protesters alleged that most of the levies were forced on them
and in some cases they were beaten and robbed of their proceeds on daily
basis.
The unions said the agents have been banned by Anambra State
Government, but unknown to the state Governor, Chief Willie Obiano, some
agents connive with members of Board of Trustees of KKWAAWPU and are
still collecting the levies, print some tickets strange to them and
force them to pay for the tickets.
The protesters joined by members of Movement for the Actualisation
of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) and Biafra Independent
Movement (BIM), took their protest to the office of the leader of
MASSOB/BIM for Anambra South Senatorial Zone, Mr. Arinze Igbani for
assistance.
Addressing newsmen shortly after the protest, state chairman of
KKAWAAWPU, Mr. Tony Ogalaonye and his KRF counterpart, Mr. Emeka
Ohaekelem displayed the tickets they are currently paying for from
Onitsha Owerri Road to Onitsha Main Market as, “Obosi Development
Union ticket, Ogbaru Di Uso ticket, Unified Anambra State Local
Government Daily Toll, Government of Anambra State with Chariot
International daily toll, daily IGR Tricycle Keke ticket, Onitsha Ado
N’Idu daily toll, Loading and Offloading Keke Tricycle ticket, ASWAMA
Tricycle ticket, Oba Patriotic Union ticket, which range from N100 to
N150 each,” among others.
They appealed to Governor Obiano to investigate their claims and ensure that the culprits are arrested and prosecuted.
The protesters appealed to the state government to ensure the
harmonisation of the ticket tricycle operators pay to the government, to
avoid multiple taxation.
They threatened to boycott voting during the Anambra governorship election in November if nothing is done.
MASSOB-BIM Leader, Igbani, while addressing the protesting tricycle
operators appealed to them to be peaceful, and promised that he will
call all those being accused for a meeting to resolve the issue.
