Intels, an oil services company linked with the former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, appears to be in deep trouble, as the revenue agency, Federal Inland Revenue Service, FIRS, has placed a seal on its head office, asking the company to pay unremitted taxes.

It could be recalled that NPA recently cancelled its contract with Intels, claiming it acted based on advice by the Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister Of Justice, Abubakar Malami, SAN.

However, what appeared to be a much bigger trouble is that the Nigeria Free Zone Authority has written Intels, accusing the oil services company of operating illegally, within the zone.

As a consequence of the letter from the Free Zone Authority, multiple sources said Monday afternoon that the appropriate authorities such the Immigration Service may ask most expatriates operating at Intels to leave, especially as the expatriate quota Intels enjoys will be affected by this letter.

As it is now, there is palpable among expatiates because of the suspicion that FIRS may have acted against Intels based on the letter from the Nigeria Free Zone Authority.

But there are concerns that the latest “attack” on Intels may have unintended consequences on the Niger Delta, especially the host community as the company has youths from the region on its staff list. If Intels is crippled, they resultant unemployment may trigger restiveness in the region some indigenes fear.

Malami, had explained that the NPA contract was void from the beginning and was reported to have relayed the government’s decision to the Managing Director, NPA, Hadiza Usman, in a letter dated September 27.

NPA’s statement was signed by the General Manager, Corporate and Strategic Communications, Abdullahi Goje, where it maintained that it sought the legal advice after more than one year of attempts to get Intels to comply with the directive on the TSA.

The NPA explained further that the legal advice contained in a September 27, 2017 letter addressed to Usman, by Malami, expressly stated that the agreement for the monitoring and supervision of pilotage districts in the Exclusive Economic Zone of Nigeria permits Intels to receive revenue generated in each pilotage district from service boat operations.

It said that this was in consideration for 28 per cent of total revenue as commission to Intels was void, “being a contract ex facie illegal as formed for permitting Intels to receive Federal Government revenue.”

Lalasticala, mynd44

Buhari is a tyrant who is incapable of love,

His frail frame is as a result of a heart over-saddled with pettiness and wickedness.

His end will be more celebrated than that of Abacha.

Mahatma Gandhi once said;
“All through history, there have been tyrants and murderers, and for a time they can seem invincible, but in the end they always fall, always.”

He used funds from the same "illegal operations" to fund Buhari's election, but it was legit money then.

Look at the foolishness of APC, they don't want any form of opposition, they have a military style of leadership, Just because Atiku Abubarka is coming out in 2019, now they remember that the agreement intels signed with the Federal government will no longer stand, prior to 2015 the agreement was valid, and FIRS is going after him, later immigration will go after his expatriates, do they think Nigerians are fools? I am not a supporter of Atiku but the leadership style of this government is disgusting, this is a democracy for cry out loud, if you need the people's votes give them a reason to give it to you, and not stiflling every form of opposition, they started with PDP members, now it has become internal it goes a long way to show their level of ineptude and incompetence, 2019 Nigerians will decide who becomes their president, not by this act of lunacy of stifling any perceived opposition of the incumbent.

Atiku will now think twice before talking. Any nonsense talk from him, he will be locked up like Dasuki Sambo
A generational thief like Atiku has no moral justification to criticise any government.

See what Aisha has caused by saying she will support Atiku in 2019

Buhari is a bitter Sadist!!

Malami shud thread carefully, he won't be dere 4rever

Shiii

So the government knew the company have been operating illegally since but allowed the illegality until Atiku fell apart with the power that be? So much lawlessness of the APC government.Well,this is just more of Buhari's tyranny being displayed.This serves Atiku right.Having known Buhari for who he was in the 1980s when Nigeria had a piece of Buhari's inhumanity,he still went ahead to yoke with him in future life all because his political desperation.He who rides on the back of a tiger often ends up in its stomach.Never allow your crave for power becloud your sense of sound judgement.

Great

God will continue punishing Buhari....

Truth be told. INTELS has been down even before it became official. Infact some top staff of the company had been asked to embark on compulsory leave after so many others were fired As the company stopped receiving contracts from the FG getting close to a year now.

They have been little or no activities at all at INTELS for 7-8 months now and its not unconnected to some forces against Atiku. The painful thing is how theydo this not minding the fact the company has more than 3000 staff in its employ.

Sometimes i even wonder if Buhari is aware of the happenings around him or he has handed over decision making to el rufai and cronies.

efighter:
Atiku will now think twice before talking. Any nonsense talk from him, he will be locked up like Dasuki Sambo

And what moral right does the santimously corrupt Buhari and APC government have in doing this? He that comes to equity must do so with clean hands.
