The era of using unions as fronts to harass, intimidate, or extort drivers and road users in the name of revenue collection is over.<\/p>\n<p>The state government warned that no individual or group under any of these unions was permitted to collect any form of payment from motorists or road users.<\/p>\n<p>It advised all motorists, drivers, and road users not to pay any cash or comply with any form of illegal levy imposed by these banned entities.<\/p>\n<p>It further said that reports of any such illegal activity should be forwarded immediately to the Edo State Special Task Force.<\/p>\n<p>The statement added, \u201cThe Commissioner of Police and all relevant security agencies have been duly notified and directed to arrest and prosecute any individual or group found violating this directive.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEdo State Government, under the leadership of the people-loving Governor, Senator Monday Okpebholo, remains committed to sanitising the revenue system and protecting its citizens from unlawful exploitation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLet this serve as a final warning to all parties engaged in or considering such illegal activities.
