Nigerian Police Makes Huge Revelation On Viral Video Of Alleged Decomposed Naira Notes Found In Benue

The Nigeria Police Force has stated that a social media trending video purporting to show bags of rotten naira notes discovered in a store at the Police Barracks in Makurdi’s Wadata area is “misinformation.”

The Benue State Police Command refuted the viral video in a statement issued in Makurdi by its Public Relations Officer, Superintendent, SP, Catherine Anene, who also promised a thorough investigation into the matter.

In the video, some Wadata residents were seen pulling out bags of what appeared to be decomposing papers from a store, claiming it was money discovered by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, or EFCC.

“Police detectives sent on investigation to the scene recovered wasted papers in a shop close to Wadata Police Barracks, Makurdi.”
