CITIZENS COMPASS- A woman was seen displaying and hawking the new Naira notes in Ibadan, the capital of Oyo State.
The event took place on Saturday.

Despite the shortage, a large wads of the new notes have flooded party locations, with hawkers demanding N200 charge to sell N1,000 of the redesigned notes.
The report revealed that at a party in Ibadan, Oyo State on Saturday, a woman was seen freely hawking the newly redesigned wads of N200 bank notes unhindered.
Many Nigerians have taken to the social media to express their displeasure about this.
