From Uche Nnorom, Makurdi
A leading Tricycle Association in Benue state, Peace Tricycle Association of Nigeria has been enmeshed in allegation of corruption.
The Association has therefore expelled its Secretary General, Comrade Stephen Vembe over the issue.
The crisis started following reported issues of gross financial misconduct brought against the ousted chief scribe of the association which metamorphosed into his immediate removal.
Chairman of PTAN in the state, Comrade Asember Boston, Secretary Javis Iju, and other stakeholders in a statement, advised Comrade Vembe to henceforth stop parading himself as a member of the union.
The union leaders warned members of the public against transacting any business of the union with the deposed PTAN scribe on its behalf, and further
cautioned him “to stop parading himself as a member of the union”.
They noted that the decision to expel Comrade Vembe was taken during the union’s general congress with stakeholders which unanimously endorsed his expulsion from the union following his gross misconduct and corrupt charges levied against him”,the statement said.
