Justice Adedayo Akintoye of the Lagos High Lagos, Igbosere has renewed a bench warrant for the arrest of a former Super Eagles captain, Austin Jay-Jay Okocha, for alleged tax evasion.
The court made the order following Okocha’s alleged failure to settle a 2017 income tax evasion case brought against him by the Lagos State Government.
The judge first made the order on January 29, following an application by the Lagos State Ministry of Justice.
The ministry told the court that Okocha had also failed to appear in court since 2017 when the case was filed against him.
