A former Super Eagles captain, Austin Jay-Jay Okocha, has again been issued an arrest warrant by the Lagos state High Court in a ruling reportedly delivered by Justice Adedayo Akintoye of a Lagos High court sitting in Igbosere.
According to the latest report, the former Nigeria international was accused of alleged tax evasion, which forced the court to issue a bench warrant.

The Lagos State Government had accused the former Paris-Saint-Germain star of tax fraud which he reportedly failed to settle two years ago.
The Lagos state High Court judge first made the order on January 29 following an application by the Lagos State Ministry of Justice.
But there were also reports claiming that Austin Okocha denied being guilty of any tax fraud being alleged of.
