1 Feared Dead, 20 Injured As Edo State Revenue Agents Clash In Benin by Monimatic(m): 3:51pm On Nov 18, 2015 |
One person was feared dead yesterday while 20 others sustained serious injuries following a bloody clash that broke out between two government revenue agents at the busy King Square in Benin City, the Edo State capital, causing pandemonium as traders fled and abandoned their wares. Indication emerged early in the morning of dangers ahead when some youths were sighted with cutlasses and clubs at the Oredo Council secretariat. It was learnt that the clash which started at about 11:30am was between those authorized to collect revenue in the council and some youths of the All Progressives Congress (APC) who claimed to have the authority of the state government to take over revenue collection in the council. The original revenue collectors in the council were appointed by the suspended chairman of the Council, Mr Osaro Obaze, who distributed the revenue in a manner to assist all party leaders in Oredo. Leadership gathered that it was these original revenue collectors, who are agents of different political leaders in the council, that resisted the attempt to take over revenue collection by some youths loyal to the APC. The commissioner of police, Chris Ezike, when contacted, said some of the youths sustained injuries and urged the state government to come up with a decision on who is the authentic revenue collector so as to avoid future crisis. According to him, “One of the groups said it has authority of the state government; one said it has authority of the LGA. Some people were assaulted and I have asked my DCO in New Benin to investigate the matter and go after the suspects who assaulted those people. “But the fundamental issue is, who collects the revenue? And I think it is in the purview of the state government to make that decision.” www.leadership.ng/news/475681/crisis-1-feared-dead-20-injured-as-revenue-agents-clash-in-benin
