Police Disagree With EFCC Over Alleged Decayed Naira Notes Discovered In Benue Barracks
The Benue state police command has clarified that the items recovered from the stash of sacks found in Wadata Police Barracks in the state contained crushed papers and not damaged naira notes.

“Live oh, Wadata, EFCC discover money. See money. See where dem hide am. Money don spoil, make una see am. See money. Police Barracks, Wadata. Politicians, una no go kill us.”
In a rebuttal issued on Twitter, the spokesperson of the state police command, Anene Catherine, said the items discovered in the sacks were crushed papers and not cash.
Meanwhile, an official of the anti-graft agency who did not want to be mentioned since he was not authorised to speak said the office got information of sacks of old naira notes and deployed its men to the place but discovered that they were condemned notes from the Central Bank of Nigeria.
He said, “It is true we heard information of old naira notes then we went to court to obtain a search warrant, on getting there, we found those condemned naira notes.
