Police Uncover Fake Dollar Factory in Odigbo Ondo State, Arrest One Suspect

Ondo State police uncovered a counterfeit dollar printing factory in Kiniso Village, arresting one suspect and seizing bags of fake U.S. notes.

Officers from the Lagos State Police Command raided the residential hideout after weeks of intelligence gathering. Investigators found that the suspects converted the interior of the building into a climate-controlled greenhouse equipped with advanced hydroponic lighting, automated ventilation systems, and specialized nutrient irrigation lines.

The indoor setup allowed year-round cultivation of high-grade cannabis away from public view. Police seized hundreds of mature plants, dried narcotics packaged for distribution, and specialized horticultural equipment.
