Breaking: Again, Jay-Jay Okocha fails to settle tax case

An Igbosere High Court in Lagos has again renewed the arrest warrant it issued nearly two years and 11 months ago against ex-Super Eagles captain, Augustine ‘Jay-Jay’ Okocha, for alleged tax evasion.

Justice Adedayo Akintoye made the renewal following Okocha’s repeated failure to conclude an out-of-court settlement with the Lagos State Government.

Okocha has also failed to appear in court to answer to the charge

The North East Development Commission (NEDC) has warned the public against a fake and unauthorised message circulating on social media about an alleged Education Support Fund for Master’s degree (MSc) students.

The Commission, in a disclaimer signed by its management on Friday, described the purported programme, including its stated requirements and the alleged submission point at the NEDC office in Polo, Maiduguri, as false and unauthorised.

According to the Commission, it is not currently receiving applications for any MSc Education Support Fund as contained in the circulating message.

NEDC therefore urged prospective applicants and other members of the public to disregard the information and avoid submitting personal documents to individuals or locations claiming to be acting on behalf of the Commission.

It specifically cautioned the public against releasing sensitive documents such as National Identification Number (NIN) slips, admission letters, identity cards and indigene certificates in connection with the purported programme.

The Commission further warned the public to remain vigilant against fraudulent schemes and the unauthorised use of NEDC’s name and identity to deceive unsuspecting applicants.

It advised members of the public seeking information on its programmes, interventions and opportunities to rely only on official NEDC communication channels and verified announcements issued by the Commission
