Six Suspects Arrested Over Counterfeit Euro Notes Worth €8,900 in Ibadan
The Oyo State Police Command has arrested six individuals suspected of producing and distributing counterfeit €100 euro notes in Ibadan, Nigeria.
The police recovered a total of 89 pieces of fake currency valued at €8,900 (approximately N14.15 million) after intercepting three men on a motorcycle during a township patrol on Tuesday evening.
The suspects allegedly led the police to the location where they purchased the counterfeit notes, and a forensic sweep of the premises revealed exhibits suspected to be used in producing the fake currency.
The state Commissioner of Police, CP Abimbola Olugbenga, commended the operatives for their vigilance and professionalism.
