The petroleum sales in Anambra State would have to be discontinued within the next two weeks due to threats against its members, according to the Independent Petroleum Marketers Association, Enugu Depot.
According to The PUNCH, the association charged that the administration of Governor Chukwuma Soludo had overtaxed its members, imposed restrictions on their companies, and arrested them.
The warning was issued by IPMAN Chairman, Chinedu Anyaso on Friday, not long after he was re-elected to lead the organization’s operations for a further three-year term. Anyaso pledged to keep up his hard work to lessen the challenges that association members face.
He claimed that all attempts to bring the matter to the notice of the Anambra State Government have failed and produced no results.
He expressed sorrow that some IPMAN members who operated businesses in Anambra State were prosecuted, imprisoned, or faced fines as a result of their reluctance to submit to unlawful and excessive taxation.
