The Executive Director, Anambra State Internal Revenue Service, Dr Christian Mmadubuko says they will stop at nothing in the ongoing effort to rid the state of illegal revenue collectors.
Dr Mmaduko stated this shortly after he led the enforcement team of the agency to seal off some companies and Guest Houses at Awada-Obosi and environs over tax evasion and arrest of some illegal revenue collectors at Upper Iweka and Onitsha.
He expressed shock that people entrusted with responsibilities of generating revenue for the state are masterminds of the act only for personal interest.
The revenue Director regretted that those apprehended said they were assigned to do the work by some ANJET officials.
Dr Mmadubuko explained that the state government has not authorized anybody or revenue Heads to go on revenue collection, stating that the agency is working assiduously to ensure that revenues for the state are collected professionally.
When interviewed after their apprehension , two revenue suspects, Mr Adimchukwu Onyema and Emeka Ojukwu admitted that they are into revenue collection but claimed that they were doing it for some officials of ANJET who they pay between thirty to forty thousand naira daily.
