Officials of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) have arrested a herbalist and two others for allegedly selling fake $400,000 for N20,000.

As reported by New Telegraph, the herbalist, identified as Rabiu Abubakar (36) was caught alongside Sadiq Ibrahim (30) and Hussaini Hassan in Minna, Niger State.

The state NSCDC Commandant, Mr. Philip Ayuba said:“Abubakar asked his victim to provide N20, 00 which he would eventually double and change to dollars. The victim provided the N20,000 which Abubakar collected. He handed a carton with dollar samples on top to the victim. Abubakar ordered him not to open the carton until he got home; when he got home and opened the carton, he discovered fake dollars on top, but underneath was saw dust. The fake dollar was estimated to be $400,000.”

Ayuba said the second suspect, Ibrahim, was arrested at the popular Mobil roundabout in Minna while waiting for a victim. This particular victim was supposed to bring N300,000.
