 So Linus Williams (Blord) has been released from Kuje prison after fulfilling his bail conditions, finally, freedom after a few weeks in custody. However, here’s the current position of his case:  He is still expected to show up and stand his trial.  If he fails to appear in court even for one day, his bail can be revoked and a bench warrant may be issued against him, meaning a return to Kuje. If the prosecution cannot prove the charges against him, he will be discharged and acquitted. If the prosecution proves the charges, he may be sentenced and sent back to Kuje. I think he should seek a peaceful resolution to the case. Congrats to him on his freedom for now.

THE NARRATIVE THAT LIRS WILL TAKE UNPAID TAXES DIRECTLY FROM ACCOUNTS OF LAGOS RESIDENTS IS FAR FROM THE TRUTH- LIRS CHAIRMAN, AYODELE SUBAIR, SAYS . (PHOTO).



 The narrative that LIRS will take unpaid taxes directly from accounts of Lagos residents is far from the truth- LIRS chairman, Ayodele Subair, says 


The Executive Chairman of the Lagos State Internal Revenue Service LIRS, Ayodele Subair, says reports that the LIRS will take unpaid taxes directly from the bank accounts of residents of the state residents is far from the truth.


Subair stated this when he appeared on Arise TV on Tuesday, January 27. 


The Lagos State Internal Revenue Service (LIRS) over the weekend released a statement saying it will begin enforcing the recovery of outstanding tax liabilities from defaulting taxpayers through third parties, including banks, employers, tenants, debtors, and business partners. The agency said that the action is in accordance with Section 60 of the Nigeria Tax Administration Act, 2025 (NTAA 2025), which grants LIRS the legal power of substitution.


“The NTAA 2025 empowers the Lagos State Internal Revenue Service to direct any person holding money on behalf of, or owing money to, a taxpayer who has failed to pay an established final tax liability when due, to remit such money to the Service in settlement (or partial settlement) of the outstanding tax,” the notice stated.

According to the statement, the ‘Power of Substitution is a lawful collection mechanism designed to ensure efficient recovery of unpaid taxes, including Personal Income Tax (PIT), Capital Gains Tax (CGT), Stamp Duties and Withholding Tax (WHT) administered by LIRS.”


The agency said the notice was issued to clarify the circumstances, procedures, and obligations involved in exercising the statutory power. It explained that where a taxpayer fails, neglects, or refuses to settle an established tax liability when due, LIRS may direct any person holding funds on behalf of the taxpayer, or owing money to the taxpayer, to remit such funds to the service.
