 Imo State Cracks Down on Illegal Revenue Collectors in Major Sting Operation


In a decisive move to combat economic sabotage, the Office of the Governor on Monitoring and Compliance, in partnership with the Imo State Internal Revenue Service (IIRS), has arrested several individuals involved in illegal revenue collection across key locations in the state. The arrests, made possible through credible intelligence, took place along Aba-Owerri Road, Airport Junction, and the Aba-Imo State border.


Nze Chinasa Nwaneri, Special Adviser to Governor Hope Uzodinma on Monitoring and Compliance, revealed that the suspects were caught collecting cash, issuing forged receipts, and using a fraudulent IIRS app with scam barcodes to deceive motorists and traders into paying unauthorized levies. 


“This operation underscores the state government’s commitment to sanitizing the revenue system and eliminating fake agents undermining Governor Uzodinma’s transparent fiscal reforms,” Nwaneri stated. The suspects have been handed over to the police for further investigation and prosecution.


Nwaneri reiterated the state’s zero-tolerance policy for unauthorized revenue collection, warning that violators will face arrest and prosecution under state laws. He urged residents and business owners to report suspicious activities via government hotlines, emphasizing that all legitimate revenue payments must be made directly to the state’s Treasury Single Account (TSA).


The operation marks a significant step in Imo State’s ongoing efforts to ensure a transparent, accountable, and economically vibrant revenue system.
