The Zamfara State Command of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps NSCDC has arrested three persons in connection with fake currency worth N2 million.
Parading the suspects, the Command’s Public Relations Officer, Ikor Uche, said the corps arrested the suspects for being involved in printing, minting and circulating fake naira and dollar notes to the public.
He revealed that the 3 suspects were arrested in Gusau on April 3 while trying to pay for transport fare to a Keke Napep rider with a fake N1,000 note.
The Napep operator was able to identify the currency to be fake and raised an alarm, which led to the arrest of the culprits.
According to the command, investigations revealed that one of the suspects has been indulging in the business for one year.
Uche said the Commandant, Muhammad Muazu, however, advised the general public to be wary of the mischievous set of people.
He revealed that the Corps has beamed its searchlight on the mischief makers and would clamp down on them heavily and added that the Corps would hand over the suspects to the appropriate authorities for prosecution.
