The police paraded the couple, aged 50 and 46; the ex-soldier, aged 62; and the printer aged 35, at the command’s headquaters on Friday in Lagos.

The Zonal Public Relations Officer, SP Tunni Ayuba, paraded the suspects on behalf of the Assistant Inspector-General of Police (AIG) in charge of the zone, Mr Olatoye Durosinmi.

Ayuba said that the arrest of the printer led to the arrest of the couple and the ex-soldier.

The spokesperson said that all the suspects confessed to various roles in the alleged crime.

According to Ayuba, the printer confessed to have been in currency counterfeiting for over three years and named those he supplied fake currencies for circulation.
