Nollywood actress, Iyabo Ojo, has responded to an alleged threat made by the Lagos State Government over a tax debt.
The actress took to her Instagram page to challenge the governor of the state in a lengthy post.
She revealed the bills and statements sent to her. She also stated that she has been threatened to pay up a sum of N18 million in seven days or face jail sentence.
The mother of two questioned how such taxes are made because she is yet to understand.
According to her, the government can go ahead with their threats.
The post read, “@jidesanwoolu @lagosstategovt, please, how do you people come up with these outrageous personal income taxes you send on a daily basis?
“After paying for different types of taxes for one’s businesses, house & all…. you still come up with all this huge amount and give me 7 days to pay up, lol.
…..last time, you people asked me to come to your office, i came, you asked me to explain & declare what i earn, which i did, but noooooooooooooo you did not respond to my letter, bcos you want me to pay you an outrageous amount that i do not have …. make i go theif ni? I ask again, “How do you people come up with such outrageous bills
“I don’t know how much you think I get paid. Hence, your team will come up with this conclusion.
“What have you people ever done for me as a government? NOTHING!!! I have single-handedly raised my kids & so many others, plus myself without a single denial from the government. Yet you feel so entitled to reaping over 100% from where you did not sow.
“I have worked, and I’m still working tirelessly to survive in this country without the support of the government, but …. yet you just sit in your office and come up with different outrageous bills. Nothing is working right in this country, but yet you feel the need to take from where you have not sworn …..
“Since you guys insist …..
You can gladly come n close down my business, arrest me, jail me, or kill me for all i care …. we all will die one day & i will never be afraid of what will evantually be everones faith… what i do not have i can not give .
In 2019, she had cried out after receiving a N38 million tax for Personal Income Tax.
