A statement signed by Unuavworho Irikefe Goodluck, the Secretary to the Local Government, on behalf of Jaro Egbo, the Chairman of the Local Government, on Monday, October 21, 2024, included the suspension order.

According to the statement, the suspension which takes immediate effect “followed allegations from different quarters that some unscrupulous persons among the taskforce personnel were using the name of the Council Chairman to extort money illegally from road users and market women.

“All activities of the task force are suspended until a proper one is put in place.”

It quoted the Council Chairman, Jaro Egbo, as emphasising the need for members of the suspended task force to refrain from harassing members of the public and stop extorting money forthwith.
