Traders at Obollo-Afor Market in Enugu State downed tools Wednesday, protesting a newly imposed N25,000 haulage levy. The traders allege the tax is being selectively enforced on trucks loading and offloading goods. This led to a complete shutdown of the market as shop owners demonstrated against the perceived injustice. Placards were displayed during the protest, expressing the traders’ grievances. The protesters claim the selective collection is detrimental to their businesses and creates an uneven playing field. Authorities have yet to respond to the allegations, and the market remains closed as of this report. The situation threatens local commerce and highlights concerns regarding fair taxation practices.
