The Economic And Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has arrested a banker, Soberechukwu Ewa, for allegedly selling new naira notes to a Point of Sales (POS) cashier, Azubuike M. Obasi.

The POS Agent, Obasi, was also arrested alongside the banker by operatives of EFCC’s Port Harcourt Zonal Command.

According to a press release by the EFCC spokesman, Dele Oyewale on Friday, the suspects were arrested on Friday at Ecobank, Rumuobiakani and Maddox Night club, new Government Reservation Area (GRA), Port Harcourt, Rivers State.

Oyewale said a preliminary investigation showed that the banker allegedly specialises in selling new naira notes of different denominations to POS cashiers for commercial purposes.

Obasi on the other hand was caught engaging in currency racketeering.

“He was arrested while in possession of N554,600.00 (five hundred and fifty-four thousand, six hundred naira). The two suspects would soon be charged to court,” The Spokesman Said.

The level of rots across the country will take divine intervention to clean up.

You can hardly withdraw up to 50k cash from most banks. Yet, every Saturday you will see people spraying millions of mints at Owambe.

90% of crime committed perpetrated by Obicry and turning Nigeria economy upside down.

A Nigerian is a money hungry individual. No regards for rules or law. As long as he would make some profit he don't care, Good or bad.

These ones na small issue abeg... However, I believe those guy may be on their way to losing their jobs

Less than 1M

This is what Buhari and emefiele caused

This is round tripping.

Same thing they did with Fx.

How many times have you gone to the bank for withdrawal and you're given new notes


Banks use the new notes for business purposes...

Men doing dirty deals

Dis con3 sef, reason why they hardly give out the mint at their counter.

But how is this a crime. How do POS agents get money to run their business
But it’s not a crime to drive bullion van into a private property in ikoyi.

From the MD to front tellers, the Nigerian banking system is a criminal enterprise

Declaring humongous profits while impoverishing citizens

His branch manager should be arrested and interrogated. Where has he been getting the money to sell to POS operators?

The saboteurs are sabotaging, doing what they know how to do best.

How would we spray at parties........ If new notes are not available.........😄😀🤣

Those at the top cannot be stealing, then start having HBP, when those at the bottom are also making money ......,,😜🤑

E-BOLA Tinubu should be dragged out

And stoned to death

All the money been sprayed in clubs every Wednesday, Friday, Saturday and Sundays. How do they get it?

😂👌😂

Are people still buying cash
There's a lot of cash in circulation nah, both old n new ones.
I give out a lot of cash here to people without collecting a dime.

Hmmm...

How is that a problem?

EFCC should free Nigerians jare.

Is that the reason for the hyper-inflation?

Is Naira scarce?

Shebi, old and New notes are the same value?
.

The kind of Naira notes that come out of Nigerian banks this day most especially N10,N20, N50, N100 and N200 are appalling and unbenefiting for use yet bankers hijack new naira notes in their possession for illegal sales to the POS operators,I call on the attention of CBN to check this excesses as well as unnecessary and illegal withdrawals from customers' bank s.
