ICPC Arrests Woman Offering New Naira Notes for Sale

ICPC has today, 1st of February 2023, arrested a woman, Omoseyin Oluwadarasimi Esther, with the Twitter handle of Lala, offering new naira notes for sale on social media.

The arrest was as a result of intelligence received which led the ICPC operatives to seek out and promptly arrest the suspect.

It is believed she is in collusion with key elements in the financial services sector diverting the newly released notes away from banking halls and payment channels into a “ black market”

She is currently in ICPC detention and is helping the Commission with its findings on the criminal trading of the naira and the attendant scarcity and negative economic outcomes being caused by the action.

No be small thing ooo....I wanted to commit suicide yesterday when one pos operator told he he will give me 5k for 1500 commission,.

Cornerhouse4me:
Cool. Serves her right. It will be a warning and a lesson to others.
In my location, they sell each N1000 new note for N300 at the POS. So for you to get N10,000 new note, you will need N3,000. It's that horrible

Itogbes:
They should also find out where she got it from
