The Zamfara State Command of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) has arrested three persons in connection with fake currency worth N2 million.

The command’s spokesperson, Ikor Oche, identified the suspects as Kamalu Sani, Uzaifa Muazu and Suleiman Yusuf.

Parading the suspects, the Command’s Public Relations Offer, Mr. Ikor Uche, said the Corps arrested the suspects for being involved in printing, minting and circulating fake Naira and U.S Dollar notes to the public.

He said, “On April 3, 2023, one Kamalu Sani aged 28, boarded a tricycle from Kasuwa at about 1pm.

“On reaching his destination, he gave the tricycle rider N1, 000 note which was discovered to be fake.

“The rider, Umar Nasir, raised the alarm which led to the arrest of the suspect, Kamalu Sani.”

Oche explained that the operatives of the NSCDC were able to trace the supplier of the fake naira and dollar notes to Kotorkoshi town.

“One Muazu Abdulkarim who is said to be the prime suspect directed his son, Uzaifa Muazu, who has been in the illicit business with his father for the past three years to go and open a box that contained the fake currency notes for onward supplies to suspects,” he added.

According to Oche, N60,000 and $2,600 fake notes were recovered from the suspects.

One of the suspects, Sani, confessed to newsmen that he has been using fake N1,000 notes for transactions within Tsafe and Gusau for the past year.

He confessed to having been introduced to the illicit act by one Ado Gurgu of the Tsafe Local Government Area who took him to one Muazu Abdulkarim of Kwartarkwarshi village.

He also admitted that Muazu Abdulkarim was the person who supplied the fake currency note and that each N1000 fake note was exchanged for N400 only.
