SW security network apprehend man with fake new Naira notes in Ekiti

The South West Regional Security Network ( Amotekun) has paraded a 50-Year-old Man in Ado Ekiti for being in possession of fake new 1000 Naira notes amounting to 250,000 Naira.

The men of the Amotekun Corp apprehended the suspect at Omuo-Ekiti on Monday, after an alarm was raised by one of the Traders while he was trying to make some Purchase at the Market.

He was thereafter apprehended and confessed to having spent over 150,000 Naira of the fake notes to more than 10 unsuspecting members of the public in the vicinity and now has a balance of 100,000.

The suspect also confessed that he belongs to a syndicate with their boss resident in Ikotun, Lagos, and has a 50% commission on every successful transaction.

The Commandant of the Corp, Ade Akomolafe said although the situation is dire and the times are hard, a situation where more hardship is being meted out by some criminally minded elements is rather unfortunate.

The Corp will transfer the suspect to the Police for further investigation and prosecution.
