The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) Kaduna Zonal Command has detained Abdullahi Yahaya and Ibrahim Haruna on charges of money counterfeiting. The arrests were confirmed in a statement issued on Sunday by the EFCC’s Head of Media and Publicity, Dele Oyewale.
When apprehended, Yahaya and Haruna were found in possession of $81,700 in counterfeit $100 bills. Oyewale revealed that Haruna claimed he had been given the counterfeit dollars months ago by an individual named Babangida, who remains at large. Yahaya learned of Haruna’s counterfeit stash through a man named Kabiru, who is also on the run. Yahaya was supposed to collect the fake bills from Haruna and deliver them to a buyer at a prearranged location.
The EFCC's statement also noted the discovery of a small amount of colorless liquid, believed to be mercury, which is commonly used in the production of counterfeit currency.
The Commission indicated that the suspects will be formally charged in court once investigations are concluded.
