Firs shuts down Tinapa over alleged tax evasion
The Federal Inland Revenue Service, FIRS, has shut Tinapa business /leisure resort as well as Marina Resort both in the heart of Calabar, Cross River State, over alleged non-payment of tax by both organisations.
The closure, which started on Tuesday, has paralyzed activities in both resorts which serve as the biggest hospitality and tourism spots in Calabar, thereby leaving fun seekers, tourists and visitors alike stranded.
Vanguard gathered that FIRS officials entered the premises of the business resorts with heavily armed security men and sealed off their main offices.
