A bench warrant has been issued by a Lagos High Lagos in Igbosere for the arrest of Nollywood actress Monalisa Chinda Coker for 6-year tax evasion.

Concise News gathered that the actress had failed to honour court summons over the alleged tax evasion charges.

The Lagos State Ministry of Justice, however, made an application stemmed from a two-count charge accusing Coker of a 6-year failure to file annual tax returns and failure to pay income tax in respect of her company, Monalisa Code Productions.

Justice Adedayo Akintoye made the order of the actress arrest on two count charges.

Monalisa Code Productions carries on its business from Lekki in Lagos. Prosecution counsel, Y. A. Pitan told Justice Akintoye that Coker had not appeared in court since 2017 when the charge was filed against her.
