Security officials in Yobe state have arrested a suspected fake Naira notes dealer.
Musa Kalamu, the 37-year-old suspect, was arrested by the Yobe State Police Command with about N10 million in counterfeit notes.
The State Commissioner of Police, Suleimon Lawal, who paraded the suspect, said Kalamu was arrested along Gujba road during the ongoing Pin-Down Operations embarked upon by the police, following the recent upsurge of violence in the state.
The Commissioner said the suspect, who was arrested while he was approaching a police check point, had dropped the bag containing the notes close to an innocent trader by the road. He said the police became suspicious, and after careful investigations, it was confirmed that the bag had fake currencies in it and Kalamu was apprehended.
Lawal, however, said that experts would be called in to examine the counterfeit notes which were in the N500 and N1,000 denominations.
