For the second time in two days, officials from Governor Chukwuma Soludo’s Awka Capital Territory Development Agency (ACTDA) confiscated all newspapers from vendors in Anambra state.
The newspapers seized by the agents of the ACTDA, around 10am in Friday include The Nation, The SUN, Punch, Thisday, Vanguard and Guardian.
The officials of ACTDA maintained that the state government does not want any newspaper to be sold again on the streets.
It was learnt that the vendors in the state were summoned on Friday by the Department of State Service (DSS).
The DSS summon may not be unconnected to find a resolution to the issue between the vendors and the agency.
However, one of the government officials who spoke with The Nation said: “What they are doing is good. It is to make Anambra look good. But what the people are complaining is the crude way the enforcers are going about it.
“They don’t have to burn the wares of people who want to make little money to feed their families, destroy bananas of petty traders, smash PoS of people among others.”
