The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, Borno State Command, has discovered $144,000 in an uncompleted building at Shagari Low Cost Housing Estate in Borno.
The Commandant of the corps, Ibrahim Abdullahi while confirming the news, said they discovered the money was counterfeit notes.

Abdullahi said one Bukar Goni, a 40-year-old bricklayer, found the counterfeit notes in an uncompleted building in the estate on September 16, 2018 and reported to the command.

Goni said, “Preliminary investigation by our personnel revealed that the notes have the same serial number. Also, some of the stakeholders from bureau de change, said they had noticed the fake currency in circulation some months ago. We have put our men and other sister agencies on notice of the trend.

“We believe they are trying to bring in this fake currency to destabilise the economy of the state and defraud unsuspected persons.
