The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) High Court has summoned Senator Dino Melaye over the alleged non-payment of more than ₦500 million in mandatory personal income tax covering the years 2023 and 2024.

The former lawmaker and current Kogi State PDP governorship candidate is accused of failing to meet his tax obligations despite repeated notices from the relevant tax authorities. The court directive comes as part of ongoing efforts to enforce compliance with tax laws among high-profile individuals.

Melaye, who has often been in the spotlight for his political activism and controversies, is now set to appear before the court to answer to the allegations. The case is expected to spark fresh debate over accountability and the enforcement of tax obligations for public figures in Nigeria.
