The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) in Jigawa State has arrested a 37-year-old man for being in possession of 26 pieces of 1,000 fake CFA francs.

The Public Relations Officer (PPRO) of the Corps in the state, CSC Adamu Shehu, made this known in a statement in Dutse on Tuesday, January 17, 2023.
