A Sexagenarian, identified as Femi Faweya, was
Tuesday paraded by the Oyo State Police
Command for allegedly printing fake Nigerian
currency.
The 68-year-old man alongside his 42-year-old
accomplice, Segun Fayose, confessed to the
crime, saying they obtained a currency printing
machine with which they had duped many people.
Speaking before newsmen at the state Police
Command Headquarters, Eleyele, Ibadan, Faweya,
who claimed to be a former Grade 2 teacher, said
he ventured into printing fake currency because
he lost N200, 000 to fraudsters.
“I also needed money to take care of my three
children who are in the university.
“I have been printing N500 and N1, 000 notes
with the machine in order to recoup the money I
lost to fraudster.
“I live at Ijokodo in Ibadan here. I used to
photocopy the materials with a photocopy
machine.
“I was introduced into the business three years
ago by Bayo but he is late now. He duped me of
N200, 000 without doing anything for me.
“About two months ago, someone gave me a
printer for the business,” Faweye added.
The Commissioner of Police, Mr. Sam Adegbuyi,
who paraded the suspects said there would be no
resting place for criminals in the state.
