giant, Glo, in Lagos over their failure to pay N24.3
billion in Value Added Tax (VAT).
Glo, had failed to honor the six-week notice given
to them by the FIRS. Officials of the FIRS led by
the Director of Enforcement, Emeka Obiagwu,
sealed off all the major work stations of Glo such
as GloWorld, situated at Adeola Odeku, Globacom
Towers, located at Mike Adenuga Close, and the
company’s service station at 17, Saka Tinubu

The FIRS officials clashed with some Glo staff at
Mike Adenuga towers, who were annoyed by the
order that they should vacate their work
premises. It took the intervention of some Top Glo
staff who calmed their colleagues down and
urged them to obey the FIRS.
