Pastor Arrested Along With His Kids Was Involved In Fake Money Printing.
The Department of State Security Service, SSS, in Lokoja, Kogi on Tuesday announced the ARREST of a syndicate, including a pastor, for the alleged printing and circulation of fake naira notes. The Director of SSS, Mike Fubara, who presented the suspects to journalists, said the syndicate included 15 others, including the pastor’s six children. He named the pastor as Godson Akubuiro, the General Overseer of The Mountain of Breakthrough Deliverance Ministry, Lagos.
Mr. Fubara said the SSS in its effort to trace the source of the “worrisome fake naira currency in circulation in the state,” undertook a covert operation to uncover those behind the act. “This operation took the service close to four months before a breakthrough resulting in the arrest of the 16-man syndicate led by Reverend Godson O. Akubuiro,” the director said. He said that the operation took security agents to The Breakthrough Church, also known as Land of Solution, located at Agric, Ikorodu, Lagos. He said that the suspects were being investigated preparatory to their prosecution. The director said items recovered from the suspects include equipment and materials used in printing fake currencies. Other items recovered were a large quantity of printed fake notes, cut to size blank currency notes and N1.3 million fake naira notes.
Mr. Fubara urged the public to be wary of the fake naira notes in circulation and report suspects to the service.
