EFCC says the branch of the bank in Abuja refused to load its Automated Teller Machines (ATMs) despite having N29 million of the redesigned Naira notes in its vaults.
“This policy is what? Anti-people, because the (new) notes are not there. Even when I have money in my account I cannot get 10,000. I cannot get fuel. Who is weeping, is it not the masses? Is it not the people?,” Mr Wike said.
ICPC arrested the suspects for suspected currency racketeering in Osogbo, Osun State, and Abuja.
ICPC says the suspect was arrested for allegedly selling newly-introduced new naira notes to the public via the microblogging platform.
