Chairman of the Lagos State Parks and Garages Association, Musiliu Akinsaya, popularly known as MC Oluomo, has banned collections of illegal taxes levied by ‘agberos’ in some parts of the state.
Oluomo took the decision after meeting with commercial bus drivers on Thursday following conflicts with highway tax collectors known as agberos.
On Wednesday some commercial bus drivers plying the Lagos-Abeokuta Expressway embarked on a protest over alleged extortion.
The protest disrupted economic activities around the Toll-gate area of the Lagos-Abeokuta expressway as passengers were seen trekking long distances to their destinations.
