A Lagos High Lagos in Igbosere on Monday renewed a bench warrant for the arrest of actress and producer, Monalisa Chinda Coker, over a tax evasion charge.

Justice Adedayo Akintoye renewed the order for Coker’s arrest following her failure to appear in court for trial, allegedly since 2017.

She adjourned further proceedings till June 5.

When the case was called Monday, neither Coker nor her lawyer was present.

Prosecution counsel Babatunde Sumonu told the judge that the bench warrant had yet to be effected.

“The bench warrant is to continue,” Justice Akintoye held.

The judge made the original order for Coker’s arrest last January 21, following an application by the Lagos State Ministry of Justice.

The state alleged that Coker repeatedly failed to honour a court summons.

The application for her arrest flowed from a two-count charge accusing Coker of failure to file annual tax returns and pay income tax in respect of her company, Monalisa Code Productions, for six years.

It's obvious these "bench warrants" have been targeting only those with Igbo sounding names since after the elections first Jay Jay Okocha and now Monalisa Chinda. Dear judge, this na ikwerre woman o and they'll tell you they have Benin ancestry..

I can’t say all westerners are like you cos I know a lot of hardworking people.

But I can say that I truly do not blame you since all they’ve made you (Agbero) believe is to stand at one corner collecting hard workers money in the the name of tax.

Shior!!!

give to Caesar what belongs to him in this case, pay your taxes. My only problem is why target only those from a perceived ethnic group especially immediately after the past elections that pitted igbos against the yorubas ? If you understand even a bit of court processes, you'll know that if they wanted to get this woman it won't take two seconds if they're really serious but hey, let's mess them up on social media

These people chasing Biafrans up and down to booster zoo's revenue used to feed Hausa-Fulani and Afonjas. Another tactics as announced on Radio Biafra is EFCC now work with Afonjas banks; any large deposits into Biafrans' account, EFCC will block your account in collobaration with Internal Revenue and ask you to come to their office. When you come there, they will force you to pay 5-10% to unblock your account. The source on Radio Biafra said this is only been done to Biafrans. When asked why only Biafrans? Source said, they control the money in the country, that Yorubas and Hausa-Fulani don't have money.

Government always coming to reap where they did not sow...... In America the government provide for you right from birth, support you in every way they can so when you grow up and start making it, you give back to government by paying tax to enable them support the dependent population (children and aged) . We'll keep evading tax unless government does something to support the citizens

For me this tax issue is for selected few if not if they really mean it almost all Nollywood producers will shut down. Person never make gain you dey talk of tax.

there is nothing to give to Caesar in this Nigeria. I mean these guys are self made millionaires and then all of a sudden the government remembers them for tax. Who has the government of Nigeria ever helped? Who will be happy to pay tax to an evil government? They should leave Igbo's alone to live their life
