The Special Assistant on Media and Public Relations to the AGF, Dr. Umar J. Gwandu, who disclosed this last weekend, said the transfer was contained in a letter dated January 8 and addressed to MTN’s Counsel, Messrs. Wole Olanipekun & Co.
The letter read in part: “Having carefully and painstakingly reviewed the correspondence reference and following due consultation with relevant statutory agencies, the office of the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice has decided to refer the matter under reference to Federal Inland Revenue Services and Nigerian Custom Services with a view to resolving contentious issues.
The Federal Inland Revenue and Nigerian Custom Services are the regulatory authorities vested with the powers of monitoring foreign exchange utilization and assessment of taxes as canvassed and contended by the parties in their respective submissions.
With this, AGF said his office will always demonstrate unflinching commitment to the rule of law and where all statutory agencies would be allowed to work independently with a view to fulfilling their mandates and recourse to them in contentious cases that border on their statutory mandate.
