This was recently revealed via a statement signed by the Secretary to the State Government, Mr Chris Ezem.
According to him, the government is presently investigating the assault by tricycle operators on the enforcement team of the State revenue service on Tuesday, in Aba, and the perpetrators will be severely punished.
He added that the punishment is very important because it will serve as a deterrent to others.
His words, βFor avoidance of doubt, the general public is to note that ABiRS and its agents are empowered by relevant laws to enforce collection of all taxes, fees and levies due to the state Government.
“Therefore, any transport union or individual(s) with the intention to cause disturbances in the State in order to stop collection of government revenues will be dealt with decisively in accordance with the laws of the country.”
βSecurity personnel have been placed on red alert on this matter to apprehend and prosecute the perpetrators.β
