“To imagine the miscreants bragging openly that nobody and no Government can stop them, that they own the government and that Yorubaland is theirs as such anyone who is unwilling to comply should leave Lagos. “Truly, the body language of the government is only a confirmation of the claim of the touts that they have the backing of the government and that they work in absolute connivance. We have in all 30 extortion points between Mile 2 and Sunrise where between N2,000 and N6,000 are forcefully collected per point.”It added that members of the association have been injured and killed by these criminals without any intervention from the authorities.
