The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has raised concerns over a surge in fraudulent claims involving foreign currency transfers allegedly withheld by Nigerian banks or the apex bank itself.
The apex bank raised these concerns on Tuesday in a statement by its Acting Director, Corporate Communications, Hakama Ali.
The CBN described these allegations as spurious and warned the public against relying on fake documents, such as fabricated SWIFT MT103 messages and acknowledgment copies, often used to support these claims.
