Court Orders Jay Jay Okocha’s Arrest Over Tax Fraud by Timastar(m): 9:16am On Feb 22, 2019 |
A court has ordered the arrest of former Super Eagles star, Austin Okocha, over tax evasion charges. This was ordered by the Lagos Division of the Lagos State High Court in Igbosere. Jay Jay Okocha has repeatedly failed to appear before the court to answer why he allegedly failed to pay his income taxes. Premiumtimes reports that Adedayo Akintoye, the judge, issued the warrant for the arrest of the former Eagles captain on January 29 and thereafter adjourned until February 19. However, on February 19, the prosecution had not effected the arrest forcing the judge to, again, adjourn till April 15 and ordered that the warrant is executed by then. The football star is facing a three-count charge instituted by the Lagos State Ministry of Justice bordering on failure to furnish his income returns and nonpayment of tax. The state filed the charges through its prosecutor, Jide Martins, in June 2017 and the suit began four months later. The defendant, however, had failed to appear in court. After several adjournments without Mr Okocha appearing despite having been served the court papers, Mr Martins prayed the court to issue a bench warrant for his arrest. According to the prosecutor, Mr Okocha had failed to furnish his income returns for tax purposes to the Lagos State Internal Revenue Service. Mr Martins also said that the defendant had failed to pay his income taxes. He said the offences contravened Sections 56 (a) and (b) of the Lagos State Revenue Administration Law No. 8, 2006 and Section 94 (1) of the Personal Income Tax Act Cap P8, Laws of the Federation of Nigeria 2004. https://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/top-news/314517-court-orders-jay-jay-okochas-arrest.html 3 Likes

Maybe people would take tax payments serious if they saw the positive effects of doing so ![]() These are the returns or positives of paying tax, which amongst them is being attended to in Nigeria?, rather than seeing Toyota Prado and 4runner convoy everywhere with the nonsense siren. 1. Tax aims to generate revenue to fund governing. 2. To improve economic infrastructure like - Health Care - Mr President traveled out for ear treatment. Education - ASUU strike back-to-back Roads - It's a pity that in 2019, this is still a challenge in the Giant of Africa. Public Safety - I laugh. SARS, Police Brutality, all the reptiles are dancing. Sanitation - Ofcourse not Scientific Research - Pencil production soon according to the Minister of Science and Tech Pensions - Lmao Unemployment benefits - Definitely not happening, just die. Public Utilities (Energy, Water, Waste Management) - Can't even talk about this. This is very similar to paying the estate security agents, no one would pay if robbers kept breaking into their homes whenever they felt like. It's a simple sturvs ![]() 10 Likes 1 Share |
