The Economic And Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has arrested a banker, Soberechukwu Ewa, for allegedly selling new naira notes to a Point of Sales (POS) cashier, Azubuike M. Obasi.

The POS Agent, Obasi, was also arrested alongside the banker by operatives of EFCC’s Port Harcourt Zonal Command.

According to a press release by the EFCC spokesman, Dele Oyewale on Friday, the suspects were arrested on Friday at Ecobank, Rumuobiakani and Maddox Night club, new Government Reservation Area (GRA), Port Harcourt, Rivers State.

Obasi on the other hand was caught engaging in currency racketeering.

“He was arrested while in possession of N554,600.00 (five hundred and fifty-four thousand, six hundred naira). The two suspects would soon be charged to court,” The Spokesman Said.
