The Department of State Services (DSS) has arrested some members of organized syndicates involved in the sale of new naira notes.

This comes a day after the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) extended the deadline for exchanging old naira notes for new ones to February 10th.

The accused syndicates who colluded with several commercial bank personnel were arrested, according to the DSS spokesman in a statement made on Monday.
