The Niger State Internal Revenue Service has shut down the branches of eight banks and three other organisations over N456.7million unpaid tax liability.
The Executive Chairman of the service, Mohammed Etsu, said in Minna that the exercise was carried out in line with the provisions of the relevant tax laws.
Etsu said all efforts by the service to get the defaulting organisations pay their respective tax liabilities did not yield positive result.
He called on other debtors to pay their outstanding tax liabilities to avoid the sealing of their offices by the service.
