No fewer than 44 persons have been arrested for alleged illegal tax collections in Kogi State.
The chairman of the Kogi State Internal Revenue Service, KGIRS, Alhaji Salihu Sule Enehe, disclosed this while briefing journalists in Lokoja on Tuesday evening.
He noted that the agency has recorded a 70 per cent success rate in its efforts to combat illegal tax collection in Kogi State.
According to Enehe: “The Kogi State Internal Revenue Service has launched an extensive public awareness campaign, including the installation of billboards across the state and the three senatorial districts, to discourage taxpayers from engaging with illegal tax collectors.
“Although the issue has not been entirely eradicated, the crackdown has significantly reduced illegal tax collection activities. The fight against these unauthorised collectors is ongoing.”
The KGIRS chairman explained that the agency has so far collected over N19 billion as of September towards its annual target of over N30 billion for 2024.
He attributed this achievement to the state’s economic conditions and assured that KGIRS is on track to meet its year-end target.
Enehe expressed confidence in the management and staff’s commitment to achieving the agency’s goal before the end of 2024.
