This is not the best of times for Chairman Abia State Internal Revenue Services Chairman Mr Celestine Agbara.
Recall that just a few days ago, a security personnel attached to Abia State Internal Revenue Taskforce allegedly shot and killed An Abian at Timber Market while on revenue enforcement.
This time he is been accused of Extortion Conspiracy and obstruction of justice by another Abian Engr. Kalu Prince Onuoha.

He further stated that within a space of 3,months (January – March 2021) his company (D’Samaritan Exquisite Multiple Services Ltd) was able remit Twenty Million Naira into AIRS account.
He further accused the Abia Internal revenue Boss of conniving and conspiring with another agent one Mr Celestine Afam from Anambra State to rid him off the job by leveling and unfounded and false allegations of forgery against him, using the said Celestine Afam and his criminal gang to harass innocent Abians.
He further accused Mr Celestine Agbara of extortion as he had continued to harass innocent motorists who legally obtained the AIRS emblems for which the money has been remitted into Government accounts.
