JayJay says the matter is settled and there is no cause for concern,though, he feignedignorance of the development, saying he was not in the know about factors thatled to the arrest warrant in the first place, claims he had not been contactedover the matter.
He insisted further that he was not aware ofhis alleged failure to pay income tax, which led to Igbosere High Court inLagos Island issuing a bench warrant for his arrest.
The ex-international had been dragged to court by Lagos State Ministry of Justice on a three-count charge of failure to pay tax or make a return of his income, but Okocha says he was not formally contacted.
