Traders Clash With Ebonyi Revenue Officials, One Dead (Pictures) by doris00: 4:03pm On Aug 28, 2019 |
There was pandemonium in Abakaliki on Wednesday as traders at the Abakpa main market clashed with revenue officials over Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) which allegedly led to the death of one person. Incensed by the death, the traders rioted and were on the verge of vandalising shops of some the market leaders allegedly working with the government when Police intervened to disperse them. A source at the market narrated that trouble started when the Special Adviser to Governor David Umahi on IGR, Martin’s Okwuegbu and the Commissioner for Internal Security and Border Peace, Stanley Emegha led some youths to collect the IGR from some traders in the market. The youths it was gathered, were members of Ekubaraoha Youth Assembly (EYA). The source alleged that the ‘revenue collectors’ were using the IGR collection as cover to close down the shops of some traders who took the state government to court over the leadership dispute in the market. According to him, the traders had gone to court to challenge the removal of the market leadership before the expiration of their tenure and imposition of a new interim leadership on them by the state government. “They came to the market and were taken to the shops of the traders that took them to court and they started closing their shops accusing them of not paying IGR”.

Igbos are people who are generally averse to paying taxes, one of the reasons their states don't fare well IGR wise. They also find it hard to repay debt. They make bulk of the top 20 debtors on AMCON list. And the reason is obvious. 24 Likes 6 Shares |

Can't they work out modalities on how to collect these revenues without harrasement or intimidation. In Nigeria, anyone that wears government uniform or the reflective jacket feels as if he is a god. Government work ooo 3 Likes 1 Share |
