The State Commandant, Mr. Babangida Aliyu, told newsmen that they were arrested on Wednesday night at the Tudun-Wada area of Sokoto, adding that the money was in N1,000 denomination.

Aliyu said that the culprits,  50-year-old Aliyu Dahiru, who hails from Potiskum in Yobe and 30-year-old Adamu Abdullahi from Dandume in Katsina State, came to Sokoto to spend the fake notes, adding that they had already spent N 300,000.

“They have all pleaded guilty and we will charge them to court.”

Aliyu appealed to the residents to be cautious while transacting businesses with unknown and suspicious persons.
