 Abia Taskforce Arrests Four Impostors Posing as NURTW Members for Extortion in Aba


The Abia State Harmonized Taskforce (ASHTF) apprehended four individuals on Thursday, October 9, 2025, for impersonating National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) members and engaging in extortion, intimidation, and illegal enforcement along Port Harcourt Road in Aba and surrounding areas.


The arrests took place at Flyover Junction in the Ugwunagbo area during an operation led by ASHTF Aba Area Coordinator, Mr. Uche Wogu, following multiple complaints from market women, tricycle (Keke) operators, and traders. According to a statement by ASHTF spokesperson Miracle Chukwunenye, the suspects, led by one Mr. Ahuama, were caught extorting money from traders and tricycle operators under the false pretense of being NURTW officials.


“Upon arrival, the Taskforce, in collaboration with the police, arrested Mr. Ahuama and three accomplices,” Chukwunenye said. “Investigations revealed they had impounded about twenty tricycles earlier that morning and collected money from their owners before being intercepted.” He noted that the suspects resisted arrest and attacked Taskforce operatives and police officers but were eventually subdued and taken into custody.


Chukwunenye reminded traders and transporters that Abia State enforces a strict No-Cash-at-Hand revenue policy, prohibiting government-authorized personnel from collecting cash directly from citizens. The suspects remain in custody as investigations continue.
