On that polymer note?

Which currency do you know that has value and is printed using polymer notes?

aribisala0:


More likely they are going to print fake notes maybe the currency of another country. They have a way of cleaning the notes and then printing over it so there could be high value notes in another country using same sized paper

No crime was committed. He should sue and make some more money. Nigeria never misses an opportunity to embarrass herself before the world.

Smart.

The chinese are big on forgery. The polymer will be cleaned up and another country's currency on same dimension will be minted with the polymer.

For those questioning why he is arrested. He is travelling with amount above the legally allowed PTA/BTA. Make una try dey travel now.

mfm04622:


The amount is more than one can take out of the country without declaring it. In US, the person is not arrested, only the money is seized.

hedonistic:


This is mere conjecture. As law enforcement, it is not your duty to 'foresee' a crime before it is committed, without any evidence whatsoever other than mere suspicion, and proceed to arrest somebody.

Meanwhile, the law says that you are only required to declare the amount you are traveling with if it is more than $10,000 or its Naira equivalent.

This is barbaric and shameful of us as Nigerians. It is a joke.

N300K is approximately $900. Imagine the DEA or FBI in the United States arresting a Nigerian travelling from New York to Lagos, simply because he was 'caught' with genuine $900 - in whatever denomination. How would YOU react to that?

Angelanest:
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission EFCC has arrested one Ma Yongbin, 46, a Chinese national, at the Malam Aminu Kano International Airport. Yongbin was arrested while trying to board Egypt Air to China where he was found to have in his possession undisclosed sum of N305,000 (Three Hundred and Five Thousand Naira Only) all in N5 denomination.

According to the anti-graft agency, Investigation is still ongoing.

Who knows maybe this exportation of our currency might just make it have more vakue .
CBN needs to start printing more of the N5 note and let's start selling . Maybe they will pay N100 naira for the N5 naira note since they have found out our made in Nigeria N5 has spiritual value to their existence

So you do not see any crime having such denomination of currency? Don't know that will use it to print another currency? The original paper is what he is looking for as that will pass any form of security.

dustydee:

Wawu! Have you heard of the British pound?

FeloniousFelon:


Budhist use it in a religious ceremony where they burn money (usually fake currencies) in remembrance of their dead ones.

The fake ,or in this case worthless money burnt is said to come back to the person carrying out the ceremony in 100 folds.

The chinese guy probably won use 9ja money do spiritual MMM.
