The Ekiti State Governor, Biodun Oyebanji, on Saturday threatened to order the arrest and prosecution of traders and service providers rejecting the old N500 and N1000 notes.
In a statement issued by his Special Adviser on Media, Yinka Oyebode, the governor appealed to traders and business owners to stop causing hardship for the people of the state.
He said the old N500 and N1000 notes remained legal tender following the ruling of the Supreme Court which extended its validity date till December 31.
