NDLEA Arrests Abuja-Bound Man With Fake $20M In A Bus From Lagos
Operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) have intercepted $20 million suspected to be counterfeit during a stop and search operation along Abaji-Lokoja road, within the Federal Capital Territory.
In a statement on Sunday, Spokesman of the agency, Femi Babafemi, said that the fake money was recovered from a bus coming from Lagos to Abuja, while the 53-year-old driver of the vehicle, Onyebuchi Nlededin, was arrested.
While the motive behind the money is yet to be determined by the agency, the man is reportedly currently in the Agency’s custody and set to be investigated.
If he has pulled this off sucessfuly, the fake currency would have amounted to around a whopping 16 BILLION NAIRA which would have caused further damage to the country’s already dwindling economy.
