Police in Oyo State arrest six suspected counterfeit currency dealers in Ibadan and recover fake €100 notes totaling €8,900. The Oyo State Police Command says the seizure includes 89 pieces of counterfeit 100-euro banknotes, with a stated value of about €8,900 (about N14.15 million).
The outlets report the arrest and recovery as part of police efforts to curb suspected fraud and illegal currency circulation in the city. Vanguard and Daily Post Nigeria both describe the same number of suspects, the same quantity of counterfeit notes, and the same euro amount, citing a police announcement issued through the command’s public relations channels. The reports focus on the figures released by the police, without detailing the suspects’ alleged methods, whether any charges have been filed, or if further investigations are ongoing.
