The Edo State government has warned officials of the Public Works Volunteers (PUWOV) against extortion and maltreatment of traders and commercial vehicle drivers.
PUWOV is a scheme empowered by Edo State government to enforce regulations on public safety and order.
State Coordinator, PUWOV, Mukhtar Yusuf-Osagie, who gave directive, urged members of the public to report any officer of the scheme found extorting money or manhandling street traders or drivers to the appropriate authorities or call 07049094137 or 09025093814.

Yusuf-Osagie called on all union workers to return to their union parks for union activities, adding that no union worker should be seen in government prohibited areas.
