Alexander Okere, BeninThe Edo State Internal Revenue Service has closed down the Benin station of the Federal Radio Corporation of Nigeria and Daar Communications Plc, over alleged indebtedness. It was gathered that the stations, also known as Bronze FM and RayPower FM, respectively, were sealed on Tuesday morning by officials of the EIRS. It was also gathered that the revenue service accused Bronze FM of failing to pay up a tax liability of N5.2 million while RayPower FM owed four million naira. The revenue service had claimed that the figure represented unpaid remittances of income taxes spanning two years by the radio station. However, a staff of the radio station alleged that the medium was not indebted as it had made some payments in the past.
