In a statement signed by the group’s President, Obi Mbamalu, the past couple of days have been challenging for the Bigly revenue collection team, following orchestrated intimidation, by a team led by one Mr. Christian Madubuko, who has allegedly been employing all illegitimate means to restrain the activities of the Bigly Oil and Gas team, authorised by the state government as revenue partners in a letter signed by Greg Ezeilo, the Chairman /CEO of the Anambra Internal Revenue Service, AIRS on September 1, 2023.
The group alleged that Christian Madubuko, who is an insider at the AIRS , has been using ‘very obnoxious’ means to prevent others from doing the work the government authorised them to do because of personal interest.
“We cannot but draw the attention of the Governor of Anambra State, Prof Chukwuma Soludo on the need to call Mr. Christian Madubuko to order as he has employed the ‘kill them before they grow’ tactic of putting other revenue collectors out of the system. It is worrisome that he connived with some security agents to arrest and parade legitimate workers of Bigly under the premise that they were illegal revenue collectors.

He has also been using members of the Ocha Brigade to run after members of other teams in order to advance the interest of the company he is fronting. We therefore call on the governor to use his good offices to stop Madubuko from putting a dent on the numerous great strides he is making in Anambra, especially in the area of youth development,” the statement stated.
The group threatened that they would take to the streets in order to forestall what they called injustice against the youths of the state, if “Madubuko and his group continue to propagate their divisive tendencies. “
