Few days after the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, released the redesigned naira notes in the denominations of N200, N500 and N1,000, fake copies of the new N1000 naira notes have been released into the economy.
The fake of the newly-introduced N1,000 notes are now in circulation.
Banks, based on the directive of the Central Bank of Nigeria, released the redesigned notes on December 15, 2022.
However, days after the release, the husband of an unnamed Point of Sale operator has shown to the public fake N1,000 notes.
He said the notes were given by a customer to his wife.
He then showed the world the difference between the original and fake N1,000 notes.
