By Kenneth Atavti
The Department of State Services (DSS) has arrested some members of organised syndicates involved in selling the newly redesigned naira notes across the country.
DSS spokesperson, Dr. Peter Afunanya, disclosed this in a statement on Monday, made available to Nigerian pilot.
Afunanya said the DSS in the course of its operations in parts of the country established that some commercial bank officials were aiding the economic malfeasance.
“Consequently, the Service warns the currency racketeers to desist from this ignoble act. Appropriate regulatory authorities are, in this same vein, urged to step up monitoring and supervisory activities to address emerging trends expeditiously.
“It should be noted that the Service has ordered its Commands and Formations to further ensure that all persons and groups engaged in the illegal sale of the notes are identified. He maintained.
