ARTMA Disciplinary Committee Fires Five (5) Of It’s Onitsha Based Adhoc Officers For Misconducts

ARTMA Report 16 Dec, 2022

The ARTMA disciplinary committee today out-rightly fired five (5) of its Onitsha based Adhoc officers for misconducts.

From detailed feedbacks from a motorist, we were able to narrow down on five (5) of our Adhoc staffs who extorted the user on the road.

Mrs. Okeke Chinyere (not real names) was wrongly impounded by the officers. Knowing very well that If Mrs. Okeke Chinyere is brought to any of our ARTMA base, she would be released immediately and they will be penalized because they do not have a convincing video of her offense, they tried to play a smart one.

They threatened her that she will pay over ninety thousand naira (N90,000) if she gets to the office and then convinced her to pay twenty-five thousand naira (N25,000) on the road.

Mrs. Okeke Chinyere was smart enough to pick the unique number on the vest of one of the officers and called the customer care number. Today, those officers were made to refund the money in full to Mrs. Okeke Chinyere and lost their job permanently.

Mrs. Okeke Chinyere in her words appreciated the efforts of the ARTMA management in dealing with her complaints.

We advice road users both commercial and private to abide by the road signs and don’t panic when wrongly apprehended, just drive them to any of our offices and the video of your offence MUST be shown to you before you pay any fine.

We will continue to pick out the few bad eggs in the agency so as to serve ndi Anambra better.

The 5 (five) dis-robed officers are:

1. Nwafor Emeka – 266

2. Kosarachukwu Chinedu- 259

3. Aniekwe Obiora – 277

4. Nnamdi Ifeanyi- 272

5. Areh Uche Okechukwu- 272
