Lagos Agberos Allegedly Demand Tax From Very Dark Man’s Ratels Sanitation Crew

Members of the Ratels sanitation crew were reportedly confronted in Lagos by suspected agberos who allegedly demanded payment from the team while they were carrying out a sanitation exercise.
The incident has sparked reactions on social media, with questions being raised over why a volunteer sanitation team would allegedly be asked to pay money while undertaking an environmental-cleaning activity.
The reported demand has also renewed concerns about informal levies and collections by transport touts operating across parts of Lagos.
However, the exact nature and legal status of the payment allegedly demanded from the Ratels could not immediately be independently verified.
Authorities are expected to clarify whether the demand constituted an authorised government tax, an approved environmental levy, or an unofficial collection.
More details are expected as further information emerges.
