Landlords in Onitsha South Local Government Area of Anambra State, have decried what they termed “multiple levies” extorted from them by illegal revenue collectors.
Speaking under the aegis of Fegge Landlords Association, they lamented that touts and revenue collectors, claiming to be working for the state government invade their community on a daily basis to collect sanitation, property and development levies, a situation they said, did not go down well with them.
The spokesman of the association, Chief Ignatius Agabarugo, who spoke on behalf of the group, made the lamentations at the local government secretariat on Tuesday, during an interactive forum with the deputy governor of Anambra State, Dr Onyekachukwu Ibezim.
Agabarugo said, “We are ready to cooperate with the state government in the area of ending these extortions that have become a menace on us. The extortions of landlords by touts and illegal revenue collectors have become unbearable. Whenever a landlord is carrying out any renovation on his building, the touts will come to demand for various amount of money.
