The Federal Inland Revenue Service yesterday arraigned Fortless Global Concept Limited and Everyday Wine Shop and their representatives at the Federal High Court, Abuja on alleged tax evasion, obstruction of official duty and attack on staff of the FIRS on duty, among other charges.
Similarly, in the Charge No: FHC/ABJ/CR/47/2019, between the Federal Government of Nigeria and Everyday Wine Shop , Mbah Sunday and Epkeha Peter , the FIRS preferred a six-count charge also bordering on tax evasion and assault on FIRS staff on duty on the defendants pursuant to Section 174 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 and Section 47 of the FIRS Establishment Act No: 13, 2007.
Justice Taiwo O. Taiwo of the Federal High Court 10, Abuja granted the application of FIRS prosecution counsel, James Binang and scheduled March 21, 2019 for the FIRS to prove the charges against the defendants. Binang said FIRS took the measures to prosecute the defendants to serve as a deterrent for other people who would want to evade taxes or tow the ignoble route of preventing tax officers from carrying out their official responsibilities.
