A notice pasted by the Ministry of Lands and Housing stated that the property violated Sections 41 and 100 of the Abia State Tax Law of 2020. The message warned that anyone who attempts to unseal the building would also be violating the law.

Phone numbers listed on the ministry’s notice were unreachable as of the time of reporting, leaving unanswered questions about the specific tax issues involved.
