Read Time:1 Minute, 15 Second
Rebecca Ako, a 30-year-old suspect, revealed that following her husband’s divorce, she entered into fraudulent currency transactions.
She said that after realizing she needed a way to survive, her old neighbor, who moved to Abuja, presented her with the offer.
She said at a Tuesday parade at the Osun Amotekun Corps headquarters in Osogbo that she gave back N50,000 of her own money for every N100,000 that her employer had given her.
She explained further, “There is a woman I used to live with when my husband left me, the woman later left for Abuja and she called me one day and introduced me to the fake money business. She said I could spend it, though she told me it was fake money.
“When she gives me N100,0000 of fake money I give her N50,000 of original money. That’s how I used it and I was caught. I’m from Benue State but I live in Owena.
“She gave me N100,000 in December last year and later gave me another N100,000 this year”.
Adekunle Omoyele, the commandant of Amotekun Corps, previously revealed that the woman was detained on September 16, 2024, at Sabo Market in Ilesa while utilizing a fictitious N1,000 bill to buy goods from unsuspecting vendors in the marketplace.
“The suspect confessed that one Mrs Elizabeth in Abuja was selling the fake currency through a dispatch from Abuja. We are still investigating the matter”, he said.
