Similarly, in the Charge No: FHC/ABJ/CR/47/2019, between the Federal Government of Nigeria and Everyday Wine Shop , Mbah Sunday and Epkeha Peter , the FIRS preferred a six-count charge also bordering on tax evasion and assault on FIRS staff on duty on the defendants pursuant to Section 174 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 and Section 47 of the FIRS Establishment Act No: 13, 2007.
