“We have been here since last night; then this morning, we saw as vehicles started leaving the secretariat for the seven wards in the area.
After six left, we tried to stop the seventh one when we noticed that there was no tag on it. Each vehicle has a tag; the tag on this one had just been tucked on the dashboard by the driver before he ran away.
We must see the end of this matter.”See photos below;
