Man arrested for illegal taxation of petty sellers

Ebonyi State Government has said a man captured in a viral video “taxing” vegetable sellers in the International Market has been arrested.

The government said the man flouted the executive order banning the taxation of perishable goods in the state.

On 20 March 2024, while swearing in members of the Ebonyi State Revenue Appeal Commission, Governor Nwifuru cautioned against indiscriminate taxation of the less privileged selling their farm produce in the local markets.
