A Lagos High Lagos in Igbosere has issued a bench warrant for the arrest of Nollywood actress Monalisa Chinda Coker for tax evasion.
Justice
Adedayo Akintoye made the order following an application by the Lagos
State Ministry of Justice, alleging that Coker had repeatedly failed to
honor a court summons.
The application stemmed from a two-count
charge accusing Coker of a 6-year failure to file annual tax returns and
failure to pay income tax in respect of her company, Monalisa Code
Productions.
Monalisa Code Productions carries on its business
from Lekki in Lagos. Prosecution counsel, Y. A. Pitan told Justice
Akintoye that Coker had not appeared in court since 2017, when the
charge was filed against her.
