A statement signed by the Head Corporate Communication of the Kaduna State Revenue Service Mallam Zakari Jamilu Muhammad says the arrests took place within Rafin Guza, Kawo and Ungwar Dosa axis of Kaduna North Local Government Area.

It says the arrested individuals were caught in the process of collecting illicit revenues from unsuspected shop owners which contravenes section Fifty One of the Kaduna state tax consolidation law.

The statement says the acting executive chairman of the service Mr. Jerry Adams  committement to restoring tax payers confidence and promoting transparency has resulted in the arrests and appealed to residents to report any perceived illegal collection acts to the office.

The full text of the statement reads below:
"Success was recorded on the 9h of August, 2023 in a commendable display of collaborative effort between the enforcement team of KADIRS and The Nigeria Police Force apprehended a SIX man gang of illegal tax collectors in a swift operation on Muhammadu Buhari way, Kaduna North Local Government Area.

The joint operation which took place on the said date resulted in the arrest of six individuals who were allegedly involved in illicit revenue collection activities. 

The suspects were caught red handed while collecting cash from unsuspecting individuals which contravenes section (51 ) of the Kaduna State Tax Codification and Consolidation law, 2020 which states the mode of payment and prohibitions. Notwithstanding any provision in any law on assessments, levying or collection of taxes, levies, revenues or surcharges in the state, NO revenue shall be payable or collected in cash by any person or authority, but only by bank draft, electronic debits or credit card, point of sales terminal or money transfer in bank account of the service, and any other electronic means approved by the board for such purpose.

This operation is a testament to the Acting Executive Chairman, Mr. Jerry Adam's commitment in restoring taxpayers confidence, sanitizing and promoting transparency in tax administration in Kaduna state.

 However, the alleged suspected criminals are with the security operatives-for further investigation and prosecution.

The Service is hereby calling on citizens of Kaduna State to report the activities of illegal

  SSANU, NASU threaten strike over withheld salaries The Joint Action Committee of the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities and the Non-Academic Staff Union of Educational and Associated Institutions have threatened to disrupt industrial peace in universities should the government fail to release the withheld salaries of members.

The unions, in a joint letter signed on Friday by the President of SSANU, Muhammed Ibrahim and General Secretary of NASU, Peters Adeyemi, questioned the rationale with which the government released four months withheld salaries to members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities but failed to release the withheld salaries of non-academic staff.
