The Commandant-General
of the corps, Ahmed Audi, told Newsmen on Sunday in Abuja that the number of
cases of circulation of fake Naira notes had become worrisome.
He
warned perpetrators to desist, adding that the corps would not relent, but
continue to arrest and prosecute those involved in economic sabotage of the
country.

According to him, in less than a month, the corps had arrested and
seized fake Naira notes worth millions from members of syndicates in different
states in the country.
The C-G said that while interrogating most
of the arrested suspects, it was deduced that the alleged fraudsters took
advantage of the low circulation of the redesigned Naira notes to massively
produce counterfeit notes.
“Many innocent Nigerians must have
fallen victims to their scheme while they collected bank money transfers and
exchange of foreign currencies.
