Sharing the incident, Peller said:

“I went to the bank yesterday to deposit my money. After the naira currency deposit, they told me most of the dollar currency I brought were fake. That’s almost $30,000 cash. I know the people that gave me the fake dollars, but I won’t mention them now.”

The revelation has sparked widespread reactions on social media, with many Nigerians expressing surprise over the alleged discovery. Some questioned how such a large amount of fake foreign currency could end up in circulation, while others advised people to always verify foreign notes before accepting them in business transactions.
