Keke Drivers in Anambra State have protested triple taxation on their income and allege that touts (Agberos) extort, and harass their members.

The protesters who carried placards with different inscriptions seems to be willing to pay legitimate government revenues, but not willing to pay illegal revenues in Anambra State

The inscriptions on their placards read; “ONLY CURRENT TICKET IS ALLOWED”, “NO MORE TAX FOR KEKE IN THE WORKSHOP”, “SOLUDO ALLOW US TO WORK AND PAY OUR TAX ACCORDINGLY”, and “NO TO AGBEROS”

They complained that they paid more than the N15,000 levy fees because Agberos outlaws in the state were still collecting revenues from them. They also complained that despite paying 15,000 every month, their Kekes are being seized when the payments are not made.

They called on the state Governor, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo to fulfil his promise of getting rid of the Agberos or forget about the N15,000 monthly tax imposed on them.

The Keke drivers complained that the burden of taxation and exploitation was too much for them to bear. They questioned the rationale of paying the State Government N15,000 and still being tormented by paying illegal fees to Agberos.
