Taxi drivers protest arbitrary taxation, extortion of money in Cross River
Taxi drivers in Cross River State Monday protested against ticketing and extortion of money from people suspected to be government agents.
“I have experienced it severally in my unit and I have gone to their office to talk to them. One of my drivers paid more than N70, 000 at their office at Cultural Centre, so we have been going, and we don’t know where they are. “They can carry your motor and ask you to pay N10, 000, whatever they want, our annoyance is that those people are not trained unlike DOPT and whatever they get from drivers enters their pockets.
Addressing the protesters, the Secretary of the State’s Anti Tax Agency, Rev. Father, Dr. Julius Ada assured the protesting taxi drivers in the state that they are exempted from all forms of taxation and levies in the state.
