Before escorting him away for further questioning, the operatives ordered the loading of all ATMs and the payment of the specified amount across the counter, much to the delight of the disgruntled customers who had waited in line for hours without receiving the new notes.
Wilson Uwujaren, the EFCC's Head of Media and Publicity, revealed this in a statement on Monday.
Uwujaren said the discovery was made by the EFCC in continuation of its ongoing surveillance and visit to banks across the country to access their vaults and verify whether they were deliberately refusing to dispense the redesigned naira notes.
He said, “More than five bank branches were covered on Monday by EFCC operatives in Abuja, adding that similar exercises are ongoing in zonal commands across the country.
“The operation will continue until normalcy is restored to the banking system.
“Nigerians finding it difficult to access their funds at any bank and suspects foul play should contact the commission, for immediate intervention.”
