The Federal Inland Revenue Services (FIRS), on Tuesday, sealed off Mirage Hotel, Calabar, believed to be owned by a serving minister.
Solomon Ajimotokin, who led the FIRS enforcement team which sealed off the facility for a while, said that the action was taken over the alleged default in the payment of tax for two years.
The hotel was later reopened after its management issued a cheque of N1 million as part-payment of the amount owed.
Ajimotokin had earlier said that the hotel’s management only produced tax records of payment for 2009 and had refused to pay taxes for 2010 and 2011.
He said that FIRS was working within its mandate to ensure that tax defaulters were not allowed to continue to defraud the federal government. .
