Narating their odeal to Newsmen, the state coordinator and a member of the group, Messrs Anthony Ogaraonye and Emeka Ohaekerem listed Messrs Sylvester Obiora, Jimmy Okonkwo, Wilfred Ezike, Mike Onyekwena, Dubem Nwadiogbu and Pat Ezenwa to be responsible for imposing illegal tickets on them.

They also listed KKAWAPU Amalgamated Union, Ministry of Local government and Somatina Enterprises as the genuine Tickets they are obligated to pay while Onitsha Ado N’idu, Anambra State loca Government Tolls, ASWAMA among many others as illegal ones which costs them about two thousand naira daily(#2000) instead of three hundred(#300) as approved by the state government.
