“The suspects had taken the laws into their own hands and were collecting road toll from drivers who ply the Jamera-Toboase road.
“Mr Bruce Dompson, Constituency chairman questioned those young men under whose mandate they were collecting the toll when he got to the point; he tried to find out if the district assembly was aware but this woke the apes in the thugs as they went on a rage of attacks on the executives,” it said.
According to the party, their checks revealed the young men were sent to cause mayhem at a meeting between the Member of Parliament, Anthony Effa and the constituency executives.
