One more person has been apprehended by the police in Accra for his involvement in trading with counterfeit currencies.
The suspect, Haruna Abudu, a 35-year-old Nigerian, is the third suspect after two other suspects were earlier arrested by the police last Tuesday over the same crime.
Police investigations showed that the suspect operated from his textile shop at Chantal 6 to 6, Achimota in Accra.
Public Relations Officer of the Accra Regional Police Command, DSP Juliana Obeng, disclosed this to the media.
