Face off Erupts between FCTA officials and staff of federal inland revenue service as FCTA seals up property

News Update: Tensions Escalate Between FCTA Officials and FIRS Staff Over Property Sealing

A significant confrontation occurred between officials of the Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) and staff of the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) following the FCTA’s decision to seal a FIRS property in Abuja. The action was taken due to alleged non-compliance with regulatory requirements.

The incident has sparked discussions about the enforcement of tax regulations and the jurisdictional authority of the FCTA over federal agencies operating within the territory. While the FCTA asserts its mandate to ensure compliance with local laws, the FIRS contends that such actions may infringe upon its operational autonomy.

Further details on the matter are expected to emerge as both agencies address the situation.
