A single mother, Rebecca Ako, who specialises in using fake money for transactions has been nabbed
Rebecca who lives in Owenna, Osun State, and arrested for spending fake currency, was paraded by Osun Amotekun Corps.
A statement signed by the spokesperson for Osun Amotekun Corps, Yusuf Idowu, on Tuesday, noted that the Corps Commander, Dr Adekunle Omoyele, while parading the suspects before journalists in Osogbo, explained that the 30-year-old woman was arrested inside Sabo Market, Ilesa.
Omoyele added that Rebecca admitted committing the crime, giving excuse of the financial crises she was going through as the reason for her action.
Responding to questions from Punch Online, she admitted committing the crime, and added that she was introduced to the crime by a co-tenant after her husband had dumped her.
“I am from Benue State and I live in Owenna. I used fake money to buy goods. There is a woman, Mrs Elizabeth that I used to live with when my husband left me. The woman later left for Abuja and she called me one day and introduced me to the fake money telling me that I can spend it.
“She usually send the fake naira to me through dispatch. When she gives me N100,000 fake money, I will give her N50,000 original money that I would have made in the course of using the fake money. That is how I used to do before I was caught,” Ako said.
