In a related development, the operatives of the Kano Zonal Command of the anti-graft agency have arrested 11 (eleven) suspected currency racketeers for their alleged involvement in the sale of new naira notes for commercial purposes.
They were arrested on Monday, February 19, 2024, following fruitful intelligence that un-masked a syndicate of fraudsters operating along Lagos Street, adjacent to the Central Bank of Nigeria, Kano.
The syndicate allegedly specialized in selling naira notes. Five members of the syndicate were arrested with new naira notes being sold to the public. Six bankers who were alleged to be selling the naira notes to the sellers on commission were also arrested.
The commission has vowed to leave no stone unturned in encouraging President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's economic reforms which are being sabotaged by some suspected criminals.
The commission vows to arraign all the arrested suspected in court upon the conclusion of the investigation.
