Ghana Deports Nigerian Convicted for Smuggling Fake $100,000
A Ghanaian court has ordered the deportation of Nigerian Aremu Adegboyega after convicting him for smuggling counterfeit CFA francs worth over $100,000 through an illegal border route. Arrested in 2023 at the Aflao border, he was fined GH¢4,440 or faces up to two years in prison if he defaults. Adegboyega admitted receiving the fake notes from a Nigerian contact on instructions from a suspected mafia figure in Côte d’Ivoire.
