By Celestine Okafor (Editor-in-Chief) @CelestineOkaf11
The Department of State Services (DSS), said on Monday, that it has intercepted some members of organised syndicates involved in the sale of the new redesigned naira notes.
The Service also revealed that it has established that some Commercial Bank officials were aiding such economic malfeasance which was discovered during its operations in some parts of the country
Consequently, the DSS, according to it's reputation manager, Dr Peter Afunnanya, in a statement on Monday January 30, 2023, warned the currency racketeers to desist from this ignoble act, as it has urged the appropriate regulatory authorities to step up monitoring and supervisory activities to expeditiously address the emerging trends.
Afunnanya also disclosed that the State Security Organization has ordered its Commands and Formations to further ensure that all persons and groups engaged in the illegal sale of the new naira notes are properly identified.
The DSS however enjoined anyone with useful information relating to this acts of economic sabotage to pass such information to the relevant authorities. NNL.
