THE police command in Nasarawa State, on Wednesday,
said it arrested five men with fake $3,000 and materials used for
currency counterfeiting.
This was contained in a statement signed by the state Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Mr Michael Adah, in Lafia, the state capital.
The statement, according to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), said the police detectives attached to Access Bank Plc in Lafia, on December 28, arrested one Theophilus Ogu, who presented a fake $100 for exchange.
Adah said following investigation, four others were arrested with fake $3,000.
He said the police also discovered from the hideout, mercury and other materials used in the production of the fake currencies.
The police spokesman said the suspects would be charged to court as soon as investigation was concluded.
He, however, said crime rate in the state during Christmas and New Year festivities was low, attributing the development to security measures put in place by the command, while he urged members of the public to further support the police to effectively tackle criminal activities in the state.
