The National Cargo Transport Operators has declared an indefinite strike over the alleged harassment by the police at Enyinam in the Eastern Region.
According to the group, they will not offer their services anymore until the situation is addressed by the relevant authorities.
The National President of the Cargo Transport Operators Association, Alhaji Mohammed Tanko told the media that “one driver was harassed by the Police at Enyinam. He was arrested for no apparent reason.”
According to him, this is only one of several other incidents which is making our work difficult.
The group most affected by the alleged actions of the security agency, he said are those who offload charcoal from the Northern part of the country to the Greater Accra Region.
Alhaji Mohammed Tanko mentioned that “we feel we are being victimised by the police” thus want the situation to be addressed.
“We are going to lay down our tools till we get assurances from the relevant authorities,” he stressed.
Should the National Cargo Transport Operators embark on the strike action as indicated, traders would be affected as they would not have a feasible medium to convey their goods from the farms to the market.
