The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) has discovered a bunch of new naira notes hidden in a bank safe lock.

In a video posted to the public via its verified Twitter on Saturday, February 4, 2023, the commission officials were seen ordering a bank official unpack a lock. When the lock was open, the bank official shrugged indicating that there were no new naira notes.
However, the ICPC officials were not having it and insisted that the officials empty the safe lock.
Behind the old N1,000 naira notes, a bunch of redesigned notes was starched deeply inside the safe lock.
Meanwhile, the ICPC has promised to clamp down at elements frustrating efforts of making the redesigned Naira notes available to members of the public.
Already some commercial bank officials have been arrested for alleged sabotage and more arrest is expected in the coming days.
