Osun State Police Command has intercepted the sum of $3.5 million (about N450 million) fake currency notes while three suspects were arrested in connection with the crime.

The police said that the fake US dollar notes were intercepted on Monday at one of the observation points on the Ibadan/Akure road.

Parading the three suspects in Osogbo on Thursday, Osun State Commissioner of Police, Mr. John Moronike said that the suspects who were trafficking in fake currency notes were on their way to Abuja from where they planned to take off to Niger Republic.

Mr. Moronike gave the names of the suspects as Abdullai Olarenwaju (40), Mojeed Olawole (31) and Adejare Adeniji (42).

He said that the fake currency notes and the suspects were intercepted by 39 Police Mobile unit of the command.

Mr. Moronike described the interception of the suspects as a major breakthrough of the year at which fake currencies were being used to defraud innocent citizens in the country.

He said that the command had arrested three suspects who specialised in house breaking and stealing.

The commissioner said that the three suspects, Popoola Babatunde (21), Olarewaju Kazeem (21) and Saheed Suliman (23) who were arrested on October 1 following information provided by people said that the police recovered three single locally made barrels, pieces of rug, three mattresses and window blind and television sets from the suspects.

Well done to the Nigerian Police. I know na only suspect they fit catch, why don't follow the Arm robbers on the same highway that very day,, so I think they don't vdeserve any Kudos,

No mind the morons! poverty and frustration don blind them finish so they fail to see the "Fake" they only saw the "dollar" in the posting and started salivating and dreaming!

wildbello:

confirm there cup don full,

Agreed there cup don full because Nigerian Police is more of a friend to a thief (as blood is thicker than water now) than to a law abiding citizen.

its obvious nigerians at large are not happy with the nigerian police. but may be we should encourage them by saying kudos.

But y are we this desperate in this country ?

Adverse Corruption.

if sony international post any advert we go say dem dey rubbish the nation's name, now who dey rubbish the name proper.

sony continue with the advert ohh.

@ least some cops in the Nigerian Police are doing there jobs. Salute to the Nigerian Police Command in Osun State for a job well done. We should note

that, regardless of the fact that the notes were fake, the police could still be tempted to something stupid and rash about the currencies.

Another bad news.Thanks NPF.

How did they know that the currencies are fake?
Nigerian Police Force!

At least, one good news from Nigerian police.
