Actress Monalisa Chinda allegedly in tax troubles

The Nigerian actress, film producer, television personality and media personality has been accused of failing to pay income tax over a 6-year period, and a High Court in Lagos has reportedly ordered for her arrest.

In a report by The Nation News on Sunday, 3 March 2019, it was alleged that Monalisa Chinda had failed to obey a request asking her to show up in court.

As a result, Justice Adedayo Akintoye, insisted that she must be apprehended in an order reportedly given on Monday, 21 January 2019.

The defendant has been served with hearing notice. The proof of service is in the court’s file,” a statement from prosecutor Y A Pitan reads. The council mentioned this while asking for a bench warrant to arrest the actress who has reportedly been evasive.

Monalisa Chinda, a mother of one is alleged to be found wanting for refusing to fulfil an obligation to pay tax to the Lagos State government for her business located in Lekki on the Lagos Island.

The allegation has resulted in a two-count charge, one of which alleged “failure to furnish and file annual tax returns for the purpose of personal income taxation with the Lagos State Internal Revenue Service (LIRS) contrary to Section 94(1) of the Personal Income Tax Act 2004 (as amended).”

According to The Nation, the bench warrants to arrest the actress shall extend until the month of April, having failed to appear in court two months earlier.
