There was a mild drama at the timber market, Onitsha Bridge Head last Wednesday as some members of the Uba Plank and Joist Association embarked on a peaceful protest against its leadership.
In their separate speeches, Messrs Ikechukwu Aneke and Kenechukwu Okafor accused the executive led by Mr. Tony Chiloli of high handedness which according to them has led to their loss of patronage.
They said many customers have resorted to patronizing timber markets in other areas instead of the Onitsha Bridge Head market, due to undue extortions championed by the executive.
They called on the State government to intervene in the matter for peace and commercial stability in the State.
They expressed dissatisfaction with what they called undue interference of Amalgamated Traders Association in the affairs of the association.
The Chairman, Mr. Tony Chiloli in a telephone interview said he was not aware of the protest but however described all the allegations against him as false.
