_Paul Nwosu
The drive of Governor Charles Chukwuma Soludo to end touting in Anambra State is yielding plenteous dividends.
Anambra State Commissioner for Information, Sir Paul Nwosu, disclosed this in a statement released on Wednesday, 15th February, 2023.
According to the statement, in a swift reaction to Mr. Governor’s assurances to callers on the 3rd edition of his ABS Quarterly Phone-in Programme, the Anambra Joint Enforcement Team (ANJET) arrested 48 illegal revenue collectors from around the state.
He said the operation which was carried out on Tuesday, February 14, 2023, harvested plentiful number of illegal revenue collectors and touts across the State, especially at locations reported by callers during the Media Chat with Mr. Governor.
The Commissioner listed the flashpoints that were raided by ANJET to include Bridgehead, Uga Junction, Upper Iweka, Owerri road, Nnewi, Igbo-Ukwu, Ekwulobia, Amansea and Ifite Awka.
He also revealed that the suspects were already being profiled for “Name and Shame” policy of the government, after which they would be promptly charged to court to face the law.
The release further assured that ANJET, working under the coordination of SPAD Security Office, will continue to pursue Governor Soludo’s resolve to stamp out touting in Anambra, which, he noted, will go a long way to ensure that the dream of a liveable and prosperous land is achieved.
