The Governor of Anambra State, Prof Charles Soludo now use thugs as tax collectors to shore up the internal revenue of the state.
Any truck coming to Anambra State through the Niger Bridge is taxed between thirty thousand Naira and sixty thousand Naira.
All manners of taxes are imposed on business men and artisans.
President of Premium Breadmakers Association, Emmanuel Onuoroh lamented on multiple taxation.
Speaking to reporters within the week, Onuoroh alleged that Soludo thugs were harassing his members with all manners of taxes.
Said Onuoroh ,’I am in Anambra State, come and see what the Governor and his thugs are doing. As soon as you are bringing the flour into Anambra, they will stop the vehicles and pounce on them. Taxation everywhere. My members in Anambra cannot do anything. If you are bringing maybe 300 bags of flour, they will stop you at the head bridge. You must pay thirty thousand Naira. If you are bringing two trucks, you will pay sixty thousand Naira. They will go into bakeries to give them all sorts of problems. Not only that. Welders that are working for us, he is taxing them too.’
The Pond News understands that Soludo ,a professor of economics and a former CBN governor is using gutter and strong armed tactics to impose multiple taxes on people.
