Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Department of State Services (DSS) said it has intercepted some syndicates in parts of the country for allegedly selling the newly redesigned Naira notes.<\/p>\n

This is contained in a statement issued by Dr Peter Afunanya, the Public Relations Officer of the DSS, on Monday in Abuja.<\/p>\n

He said the syndicates were intercepted by operatives of the service during an operation.<\/p>\n

\u201cInvestigation has also shown that some Commercial Bank officials were aiding the economic malfeasance.<\/p>\n

\u201cConsequently, the Service warns the currency racketeers to desist from this ignoble act.<\/p>\n

\u201cAppropriate regulatory authorities are, in this same vein, urged to step up monitoring and supervisory activities to expeditiously address the emerging trends,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He said the DSS has ordered its commands and formations to further ensure that all persons and groups engaged in the illegal sale of the notes were identified.<\/p>\n

The DSS spokesman, therefore, urged anyone with useful information relating to the sales of the new currency to pass the same to relevant authorities.<\/p>\n
