Every patriotic citizen in every society is expected to pay
taxes to the government. Tax payment is even more
appealing when there are visible government outputs from
the citizen's tax inputs.
The reverse is the case in Aba, where nothing works. No
good link roads, no security (as you must hurry back to
your house before 7pm or be part of the ugly robbery or
kidnap stories that make up the dailies), no water, poor
electricity etc. All these has hitherto made thriving
businesses leave Aba enmasse.
Now to the topic at hand. This Tax criminals are majorly
ex YORK(a notorious hard drug sales and use zone now
closed) inmates. The psycopaths are hired and used to
maim and in some occasions kill innocent citizens by the
Gov's Allies and brothers(mostly umuahia and ohafia
people) who were compensated with this tax contracts by
Gov. Orji. Needless to say that they in most cases pocket
90% of these extorted monies that run into billions.
What makes this case nasty is the multiplicity involved,
as this taxes are in most cases shredded into fragments
that makes it impossible for anybody to completely meet.
Funny also is the rate at which new phoney ones are
introduced without notice to the citizenry. In Aba there is
nothing like demand notice. This enables this criminals'
rake in billions from illegal unreceipted penalty payments.
Their main DEN is a delapidated shanty enclave known
as Ministry of works at the beginning of Ogborhill/ikot
ekpene road, where they normally take victims and their
vehicles to for the routine extortion. And goods in this
vehicles has in some cases been tampered with.
The heavy smell of indian hemp welcomes a first time
visitor, with all manner of shaddy and shabby looking
characters hanging around. Police is also known to give
illegal cover to their activities, as checks reveals that this
criminal thugs are familiar faces at Aba CPS & AREA
COMMAND where they have free access to big Ogas. Just
two days ago, one of the taxforce vehicles killed an
innocent passerby at Brass junction while pursuing a
would be victim's vehicle. Till now the criminals are still at
large.
One is only wise to run from them as stories abound on
how people has been kidnapped and heavy ransomes
demanded when it all originally started with tax
enforcement and gist of going to Ministy of Works, only
for them to end up in kidnappers Den.
The government of T.A ORJI should review its Tax
enforcement policies as this seems to be the last straw
for its already tattered image. The use of Drug addicts
from YORK should be discouraged, as few investors left in
Aba are on the verge of abandoning the once strong
business town.
If this is unchecked, i will come up with a video
documentary of this whole criminal activity in the name of
governance on YOUTUBE.
