Operatives of Ekiti State Amotekun Corps have arrested a man, identified as Celestine, with fake new N1, 000 notes amounting to about N250, 000.

Celestine, who claimed he is an Anambra State-born Lagos-based businessman, said he was traveling from Lagos State to Isanlu in Kogi State to buy kola nut and bitter kola when he was arrested with the fake new naira notes.

 

 

The suspect, who spoke on Tuesday, at the Amotekun State headquarters, Ado Ekiti where he was paraded with the money, described himself as a victim of circumstances, saying, “I collected the fake new naira notes from a customer in Lagos State without knowing that they were not genuine.

”Following my arrest, I tried to contact him for my release; I am still expecting to hear from him.”

Amotekun State Commander, Brig. Gen. Joe Komolafe (retd.), said the suspect was apprehended at Omuo Ekiti in Ekiti East Local Government Area of the state by the men of the corps after he had spent some of the fake notes in a local market in the area.
