Sure! Here’s the simplified and rewritten version of the blog post:
The Bauchi State Police caught a 62-year-old man named Tahir Ahmed because they think he had fake money.
The police spokesman, SP Ahmed Mohammed Wakil, said on Tuesday that Tahir Ahmed was found with N238,000 in fake money on August 8, 2024. He was traveling to Bauchi.
A person from Jos North Local Government Area in Plateau State took the same commercial Vectra vehicle with Tahir Ahmed from Sabon Garin Narabi, Toro LGA, heading to Bauchi.
During the trip, at Tilden Fulani market in Toro LGA, Bauchi State, Tahir Ahmed got into the vehicle.
It is said that Tahir Ahmed changed some paper into what looked like N1000 notes by saying some special words. This made people think the money was fake.
“When they got to Bauchi near Yandoka Road, a kind person told the police about it. During questioning, Tahir Ahmed admitted to the crime,” Wakil said.
SP Wakil said they are still looking into the matter to find out more details.
He added that the Police Commissioner, Auwal Musa Muhammad, has asked the Deputy Commissioner in charge of the Criminal Investigation Department to request experts from the Central Bank of Nigeria to check if the money is real or fake.
