The company owes N132.5million accumulated between 2012 and 2014.

The administrative department was sealed off, leaving only the power plant because of the essential services it provides to organisations.

The team team visited Consertive Estimate Limited, situated at 15, Fatai Irawo Street, Papa Ajao, Lagos, which has a tax debt of N15.8 million.

However, the company was said to have relocated over four months ago.

The exercise equally took place in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, where the FIRS team led by Mrs. Anita Erinne, shut Universal Insurance, which owes N82.1million in income tax.
