DSS STOPS THE SALE OF FRESH NAIRA NOTES AND BLAMES COMMERCIAL BANK OFFICIALS

Some members of an organized syndicate selling the new Naira notes in various parts of the nation have been detained by the Department of State Services, or DSS.

Although the DSS withheld the suspects’ names and locations, the agency claimed in a statement on Monday that several commercial bank employees were complicit in the crime.

The DSS’s Public Relations Officer, Dr. Peter Afunanya, issued a statement under his signature warning that the Service will pursue individuals responsible for the wrongdoing.

The Department of State Services (DSS) issued the following statement to inform the public that it had intercepted some members of organized syndicates engaged in the sale of freshly redesigned naira notes. It was also discovered that some Commercial Bank employees are assisting the economic misbehavior during the course of the bank’s operations in this respect in some regions of the nation.

As a result, the Service cautions money racketeers to stop their despicable behavior. In a similar spirit, appropriate regulatory bodies are asked to increase monitoring and supervision efforts in order to swiftly address developing patterns.

It should be emphasized that the Service has instructed its Commands and Formations to take additional measures to guarantee that all individuals and organizations involved in the illicit selling of the notes are identified. Therefore, everyone with pertinent information is advised to alert the appropriate authorities.
