Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Operatives of the Edo State Police Command have reportedly arrested a lady for allegedly purchasing goods from traders with fake naira notes.<\/p>\n

The lady was arrested over the weekend at the Oregbeni market in Ikpoba Hill, in Ikpoba Okha Local Government Area of Edo State.<\/p>\n

According to witnesses, the lady, who is in her 30s, had already bought items worth over N200,000 with counterfeit notes in the N1000 denomination before she was arrested.<\/p>\n

One of the traders reportedly became suspicious of the mint and decided to compare it with old notes. She subsequently discovered that the mint was fake and raised an alarm.<\/p>\n

Other traders who confirmed that the money was fake trailed the suspect, who, unknowingly, kept moving from one shop to another in search of items to buy.<\/p>\n

The suspected fraudster was reportedly lured into one of the shops to see other goods, not knowing that the traders had contacted the police.<\/p>\n

She was subsequently arrested with fake notes.<\/p>\n

When contacted, the Public Relations Officer of the Edo State Command, Chidi Nwabuzor, said he was yet to be briefed on the matter.<\/p>\n
