The operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) have arrested a banker, Soberechukwu Inya Ewa, and a Point of Sale (PoS) cashier, Azubuike Mamwu Obasi, for allegedly selling new naira notes to customers for commercial purposes.
The suspects were arrested in the early hours of Friday, February 16, 2024, at Ecobank, Rumuobiakani and Maddox Nightclub in Port Harcourt, the Rivers State capital.
The EFCC spokesman, Dele Oyewale, who made this known via a statement on Friday, said a preliminary investigation showed that the banker allegedly specialises in selling new naira notes of different denominations to PoS cashiers for commercial purposes.
