Oyo shuts telecom masts and commercial banks due to unpaid taxes [PHOTOS]

In Ibadan, the state capital, the Oyo State Government declared on Tuesday that it had blocked some commercial banks and mobile towers.

According to the administration, the property was blocked off because money was not being paid into the state’s coffers as required.

During a citywide enforcement visit, the Ministry of Lands, Housing, and Urban Development’s enforcement team, led by Director, Land Use Charge, Olufisayo Ogunbiyi, shut the premises.

In the statement made available to OBASANJO NEWS24, Ogunbiyi added that notices had been served on the commercial banks and the telecoms companies before the enforcement team visited them.

He emphasised that the state administration has no tolerance for failing to follow its rules.
