The Department of State Services (DSS) has arrested some members of an organized syndicate for allegedly selling the newly redesigned naira notes.
Afunanya, who did not disclose the names and locations of the suspects, warned that the Service would go after those involved in the malfeasance.
The statement reads,
“In the course of its operations, in this regard in parts of the country, it was also established that some Commercial Bank officials are aiding the economic malfeasance.
“Consequently, the Service warns the currency racketeers to desist from this ignoble act. Appropriate regulatory authorities are, in this same vein, urged to step up monitoring and supervisory activities to expeditiously address emerging trends.
“It should be noted that the Service has ordered its Commands and Formations to further ensure that all persons and groups engaged in the illegal sale of the notes are identified. Therefore, anyone with useful information relating to this is encouraged to pass the same to the relevant authorities”.
