A Lagos High Court in Igbosere has issued a fresh bench warrant to arrest former Super Eagles of Nigeria player, Austin Jay-Jay Okocha for alleged tax evasion.
Justice Adedayo Akintoye made the order following Okocha’s alleged failure to settle a 2017 income tax evasion case brought against him by the Lagos State Government.

The ministry told the court that Okocha had also failed to appear in court since 2017 when the case was filed against him.
