PUNCH Metro learnt that 34-year- old Eze had approached Ali sometime in January 2017, to exchange the sum of $7, 000 for the naira equivalent .
Ali was said to have paid Eze N 3, 451, 000, buying the dollars at the rate of N 493 per dollar.
The duo reportedly parted ways after the transaction , which held inside the suspect ’ s LEXUS 470 Jeep with number plate, Lagos AKD 612 DA.
The bubble burst when Ali got to his office on Treadsmaqueen Street, Ikoyi , where another customer was waiting to exchange naira for dollars.
As he brought out the money, he allegedly discovered that Eze gave him fake 74 pieces of 100 dollar note.
Ali told our correspondent that efforts to reach the suspect on a telephone number he gave him for future transactions were abortive, as the line was switched off.
He said , “ I was in my office when he called and said he had $7, 000 to sell . I told him we bought at N 493 and sold at N 496 per dollar. He said I should meet him in a bank at Falomo.
