Operatives of the Ondo State Police Command dismantled a suspected counterfeit currency printing operation in Kiniso village, Odigbo Local Government Area, Ondo State. One suspect was apprehended alongside three bags of counterfeit United States dollar notes. Police Public Relations Officer Abayomi Jimoh revealed that the operation was triggered by a complaint made by Yusuf Nasiru of Sabo, Okitipupa.
According to Jimoh, Nasiru reported that two men, Peter Desmond and Olami Toro, both from Ode-Irele, had come to his shop to exchange $6,000 (approximately N8,600,000) in US dollars for its naira equivalent. The complainant handed over the dollars, but upon their return, he noticed they were fake, leading him to report the matter to the police.
