The court ordered that the judgment of the state high court from which the state drew authorities to collect the tax be implemented.

Justice Haruna Simon Tsanami who issued the order in Abuja on Friday also directed that the law passed by Rivers State House of Assembly and assented to by Governor Nyesom Ezenwo Wike must not be implemented. The appellate court held that since parties have submitted themselves to the authorities of the court for adjudication of the matter, they must not do anything that will destroy the subject matter of the appeal.

In specific terms, Justice Tsanami granted status quo ante in favour of the Federal Inland Revenue Services FIRS and against the respondents.FIRS, in an appeal marked CA/PH/282/2021, is praying the court to set aside the judgment of a Rivers State High Court which granted powers to the state to collect Value Added Tax, VAT.

Laughable ,

Too late.

E be like say wayo wan da enter this matter Oo.

When it comes to collecting southerners money through VAT, Fulani court will uphold it in two days, but when it comes to collecting VAT from Gold mined from Sokoto, Fulani will claim it's a state resources and not federal resources. These people are evil.

Judiciary no1 enemies of the people of Nigeria. Always halting progress. Judiciary or NBA has failed Nigerians, you can’t make laws, you can’t defend the innocent nor oppressed, you can’t protect the masses, whats use of your office?thisnis regional autonomy do the right thing oo

It was expected since every aspect of governance including the judiciary are in the hands of the northerners. The dependent judiciary has always been the major problem of this country. My concern is the speed with which this judgement is coming considering how the courts work

I knew Lagos would jinx it

Story .

It will help to end terrorism in Nigeria because each state will like to protect his or her investors,with maximum security to protect life and properties they will not allow Bandits and other terrorists group to destroy his state investors and others.

Na here the break go start from. VAT money kill all the northerners foolish people without brains
