The Rapid Response Squad (RRS) unit of the Lagos State Police Command has arrested a notorious currency counterfeiter who specialized in duping unsuspecting members of the public within Computer Village in Ikeja area of Lagos metropolis.
The suspect, Haruna Garba 'm' 38 years old was arrested after a victim he had duped in August, 2022, raised alarm after unexpectedly sighting him again dubiously engaging a customer, close to the same place he had been swindled.
