The herbalist, Rabiu Abubakar 36,
Sadiq Ibrahim, 30, and Hussaini Hassan were arrested in Niger State, Minna for
circulating fake dollars and naira notes.
The state’s commandant, NSCDC, Mr
Philip Ayuba, said Abubakar and Ibrahim were arrested for circulation of fake
$400,000.
Ayuba said: “Abubakar asked his
victim to provide N20, 000 which he would eventually double and changed to
dollars. The victim provided the N20, 000 which was collected by Abubakar. He
handed a carton with dollar samples on top to the victim. Abubakar ordered him
not to open the carton until he gets home; when he got home and opened the
carton, he discovered fake dollars on top, but underneath was saw dust. The
fake dollar was estimated to be $400,000.”
Ayuba noted that the second suspect,
Ibrahim, was arrested at the popular Mobil roundabout in Minna while waiting
for a victim. This particular victim was supposed to bring N300, 000.
Ayuba said that Abubakar and Ibrahim
were accomplices, operating in Kebbi State. Ayuba said that Corps was still
investigating the case of Hassan, who was arrested with N16, 000 fake in Minna.
