*EKITI IRS EXECUTIVE CHAIRMAN WARNS AGAINST ATTACK ON REVENUE OFFICERS*

The Executive Chairman of the Ekiti State Internal Revenue Service, Mr.
Olumuyiwa Ogunmilade has warned that the State Government would no longer tolerate attacks on Revenue officers in the course of performing their official duties.

The warning followed attacks on the Joint Road Tax Enforcement team comprising Revenue Officers, Federal Road Safety Marshalls, Vehicle Inspection Officers (VIO) and the Police in Ado Ekiti while conducting general checking of vehicle particulars and compliance with number plates regulations.

He stressed that the exercise was not aimed at witch-hunting road users, but a routine exercise geared towards ensuring safety on our roads, detecting fake vehicle particulars as well as to generate revenue for the State. He stated further that the operation was fully backed by law and for the benefit of the people.

He noted the rising trend of assaults on Revenue Officers and warned that perpetrators would henceforth be made to face the full wrath of the law.
