RE: Demand Notice on Borehole Registration and License
Kindly note that the attached demand notice did not emanate from the authorities of Obingwa LGA or Abia State Government. It is the handiwork of a revenue tout that the Government has identified and will soon punish according to the law.
Obingwa LGA Chairman has confirmed the document to be FAKE and a FORGERY.
