The joint patrol team comprising of the Nigeria Army, the Police, the Navy, the Department of Security Service (SSS), the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) and other para-military operatives have arrested an Onitsha based park agent, Chukwudi Ogah.
A member of the team who spoke under anonymity said the suspect was arrested along Upper Iweka axis while molesting a driver for not paying his daily revenue.
An undisclosed sum and charms were said to have been discovered from the suspect.
The suspect fingered one Chijioke Onwe from Imo State as his boss, while also disclosing that he makes over N10,000 daily for his master, but was being paid N1,000 on daily basis.
He added that the charm is for protection against drivers’ curses.
When journalists pressed the said Chijioke Onwe for comments, he said that his name was not Chijioke Onwe but Nnamdi Anaekwe.
He claimed that he is a certified pack agent managing Onitsha-Asaba Township buses motor park, adding that he was duly commissioned by the State Government as a park agent.
He quickly produced an appointment letter duly signed by the trio of Anambra State Commissioners for Transport and Finance, Dr. Chike Ohamobi and Ngozika Okoye, respectively as well as that of S.A. on Internally Generated Revenue, Lady V.A. Obinwa.
When contacted, the State Commissioner for Transport, Dr. Chike Ohamobi denied knowing any such name as Chukwudi Oga, Chijioke Onwe and Nnamdi Anakwe but admitted signing an appointment letter of Anambra Solid Cooperative Society Ltd, which is being managed by one Mr. Nelson.
He said, “Anambra Solid Cooperative Society is a legal agent of the State Government. We empowered the agent and we grouped them as Asaba Township Bus, an urban bus that stops at various bus stops. It is a genuine revenue window and they pay close to N1 million into government coffers”.
