Justice Maimuna Abubakar of the Niger High Court 6 has ordered the arrest of the Managing Director of Polaris Bank, Omokayode Lawal and the Minna Branch manager for contempt of Court.
The state Internal Revenue Service ii filed its case through Muhammad Ndayako against the defendants for their refusal to pay taxes worth more than N1 billion.
The duo were absent during the court proceeding which was held yesterday.
The warrant of arrest against the Managing Director and the Minna branch manager was as a result of their refusal to honour the Court Summoned to be present in court.
In her ruling, Justice Abubakari ordered Police Officers to effect the arrest of the defendants.
She then adjourned the case to December 13, 2024 for the arraignment of the defendants.
