Motorists Protest Anambra Agency Fines on Onitsha‑Owerri Road

Motorists traveling the Onitsha‑Owerri corridor in Anambra state have lodged complaints against the state traffic agency, citing harassment and the imposition of N300,000 fines for one‑way driving. Drivers say the fines stem from the road’s poor condition, which forces vehicles to travel in a single direction. The agency’s enforcement has sparked anger among local commuters, who argue that the penalties are excessive and linked to infrastructure shortcomings. The protest highlights tensions between road users and state authorities over safety, maintenance, and regulatory practices on a key regional route.
