FIRS Seals Peter Obi's Company, Other Companies In Lagos, Kano by abeyraj: 6:12pm On Aug 17, 2016
The Federal Inland Revenue Services (FIRS) on Tuesday stepped up its tax enforcement duties, shutting companies in Kano, Lagos and Onitsha for outstanding tax liabilities.

In Onitsha, the warehouse of Next International Company was sealed. The company is owned by former Anambra Governor, Peter Obi.

The company has tax liabilities of N20.4million. The breakdown showed that the company has failed to pay Company Income Tax, Withholding Tax and Education Tax since 2006.

In Kano, the FIRS enforcement team, led by Umar Garba, sealed Sani Brothers Transport Company Limited, Triumph Nigeria Limited, Multi System Nigeria Limited and NorthWest Cable Manufacturers Limited.

The companies are owing N12. 3million, N6.5million, N3.3million and N5.8million respectively.

At each of the company offices, Mr. Garba read the relevant laws empowering the FIRS to shut down operations.
He also told staff of the companies that he was relying on figures from the FIRS.

In Lagos, the enforcement team sealed the offices of Secure ID Limited, situated at 2 Olawale Dawodu Street, Ikoyi, over a tax debt of N151million.

Nonsense investment shocked

- Fidelity covers loans
- quick to claim insurance on goods
- non remittance of pensions

Useless situation, worthless investment, hopeless exercise

Is there no way to negotiate with these companies to pay the said tax? What of the jobs of people working in these companies?
When will intelligent people start leading vital agencies in that country?

Still lucky that its a small chicken change. In developed countries, they wouldnt only seize your company or ask you to pay, you would actually be charged to court and imprisoned for tax evasion.

Let the government put taxes collected to good use and stop 'chopping' it. Everyone will willingly pay when we see the dividends.

Negotiate till kingdome come?
No...
I am pretty sure they must have done the negotiating part. Now its time to take action, which am sure would bring about the required result.

I have some questions
1. Is it lawful for an ex-governor to have so many companies?
2. Were the companies incorporated when he was still a governor?
3. how certain are we that the funds meant for the people of Anambra were not used in setting up these companies?
As usual nobody asks, nobody bothers and things remain the same.

i am not an expert in tax matter but 1 thing i do believe is that the agency (FIRS) would have negotiate with the affected companies before sealing, their must be a time frame for the negotiation.

They just don't go and seal offices. Negotiations must have failed.
