The chairman of Lagos State Parks and Garages Association Musiliu Akinsaya (MC Oluomo) has reportedly made a change to the tax imposed by some hoodlums on drivers.

Commercial bus drivers recently took to the streets to protest the unlawful extortion on them made by Agberos, and MC Oluomo according to reports has made a redress.

One of the bus drivers disclosed that the motorpark chairman had a lengthy meeting with them and stated that a resolution was reached.

As quoted by the Punch the unnamed driver said: “MC Oluomo told us Thursday afternoon when we held a meeting with him at the state council that no driver from Oshodi to Tollgate must be compelled to pay illegal agbero taxes anymore. 

“He said those extra taxes imposed at Iyana Ipaja and Agbado Ijaiye were no longer valid. We can either buy our daily tickets in Oshodi or Tollgate, and either will be recognised. 

“Afterwards, we will buy the council ticket and booking for security, which is about N500.”
