Komla Bosso, 34, is in the grips of the Police Criminal Investigations Department (CID) for possessing fake currency notes and a machine used for printing fake currencies.He was arrested at a hideout at Baatsona, near Tema upon a tip-off. A search of his room revealed an amount of ¢210,000 all in ¢10,000 denominations and with the same serial number (EV9114813).Also found were pieces of white papers cut in the size of currency notes.Director General of CID, DCOP David Asante Apeatu, said a complainant (name withheld) told the police that he gave the suspect 26,000 CFA to buy a car from Togo for him but the car never came and he could also not trace the suspect.Mr. Apeatu quoted the complainant as saying that when he eventually found the suspect, he promised refunding the amount and took him to a room where he showed him a machine he claimed could print currency notes.DCOP Apeatu said the complainant disclosed that there in the room, the suspect began to print ¢10,000 currency notes but at a point he told him (the complainant) that the machine had run out of ink and requested for money from him to buy some ink to continue with the printing.This request, aroused the suspicion of the complainant who left the room under the pretext of cashing money for the ink. He subsequently alerted the police who arrested the suspect.Mr. Apeatu said during interrogations, the suspect admitted the offence and mentioned Dade, an electrician at Elubo, as the one who designed the machine.Bosso told the police that he decided to use the machine because a Nigerian friend of his, told him that he once used a similar machine for printing fake currencies.Mr. Apeatu said further investigations are being conducted into the matter.Source: The Ghanaian Times
