President
of the Anambra chapter of the council, Mr Emmanuel Akpaka, said unidentified
persons walk to shop owners in the market and demand tax on their goods.
Articulated
vehicles carrying goods to Onitsha are compelled to pay to at least three
unauthorised groups in the area, while the driver of the vehicle is forced to
give between N10, 000 and N15, 000 to each of the groups.
He appealed to the Anambra State
Government do all in its power to stop the trend before emerging markets in
neighbouring states would assume the status of commercial hubs at the expense
of Onitsha.
