3 Nigerian men caught with box of fake dollars in Lagos (Photos)
The police at Special Anti-Robbery Squad, SARS, Ikeja, Lagos have arrested three suspected fraudsters who dupe unsuspecting members of the public using fake dollars and a fake Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, certificate.
The suspects, Olasende Akinsiku, 40, Abiodun Akiniyi, 35, and Tajudeen Lasisi, 40, (pictured above) were arrested following a complaint by a retired Major General to Abba Kyari, the officer in charge of SARS, that he was swindled by the arrested suspects.
Akinsiku, who hails from Ondo state, said their victims that they stole the dollars from their place of work and wanted to convert it into naira at a cheap rate so that the victims will not suspect that the dollar notes were fake.

I’ve Never Seen A Country Where The Central Bank Sells Dollars To Bureau De Change – Boyo
A foremost Nigerian economist, Mr. Henry Boyo has accused the Central Bank of Nigeria of implementing faulty monetary policies that are holding the Nigerian economy to ransom. Mr. Boyo made the remarks at the ‘Nigeria Fiscal and Monetary Crisis: The Way Out,’ which was organized by the Save Nigeria Group in order to mark the one-year anniversary of the Occupy Nigeria movement. According to him, “I’ve never seen a country where the Central Bank sells Dollars to Bureau de Change,” said Mr. Boyo… We even pride ourselves with giving agricultural loans at the rate of seven per cent, whereas in serious economies, it is as low as zero per cent.”

Liberia play Niger for Eagles
The Liberians who have been promised dollars rain to beat the Super Eagles are working hard to draw up the pay cheque. And as part of their build up programme, the Liberians are to take on Niger Republic on Sunday according to reports.
The Mena of Niger have proposed to stage the friendly at the Stade General Seyni Kountche in Niamey as part of their own build-up to their Africa Nations Cup qualifier return leg against the Guinea after they lost the first game 1-0 in Conakry. Incidentally, Niger and Nigeria played a goalless draw in another friendly in Niamey in August.
The Niger warm-up will be Liberia’s fourth international friendly in less than a month. They beat Malawi and Ghana 1-0 and 2-0 respectively before they lost 1-0 to Equatorial Guinea in Malabo.
The match in Calabar will determine which team qualifies between the Eagles and the Lone Star. The first leg ended 2-2 in Monrovia.
In Abuja the competition for places in the Eagles team has intensified. The arrival of Sharks’ Stanley Okoronkwo and Kalu Orji of Heartland has upped the battle for shirts among the 22 home based players in camp for the duel against the Lone Star on October 13 in Calabar.
The players who replaced Kano Pillars’ Papa Idris and Gabriel Reuben along with the 20 players that arrived in the camp earlier have increased the competition tempo.
“The end of the league season means we have to make sure all the players are super fit, we don’t have that worry with the European based players whom we see play week after week. The response of the players I must say has been wonderful and I commend them for their commitment to qualifying for the Nations Cup,” Eagles coach Stephen Keshi said on Wednesday.
Keshi who also addressed the media in Abuja on Wednesday said the team was motivated enough to be bother by the dollars bait given to the Liberians.
“We sure need money for the players and officials but that is not the motivation now, the need to return to the Nations Cup is the driving force and the players are sad that they missed out the last time and want to prove that they have returned to be among Africa’s best. Money will surely come later,” he said.
Some players based in Europe have pleaded to arrive in the country on Tuesday instead of Monday.
