Ubah’s company was shut on Monday, June 27, 2016, by an FIRS enforcement team, according to Sahara Reporters.
“We assessed and gave them notice of what they owe as tax. They did not respond to our communication. This was followed up with two separate reminders,” FIRS enforcement team leader, Chinazo Udeh said.
“Thereafter, a demand notice was sent to them with all these largely ignored. After the expiration of the one month window following the final notice, we were left with no option but to enforce the law,” he added.
