Staff Reporter

Kozhikode: The city police on Sunday arrested two Nigerian youths on charges of counterfeiting dollars, possessing forged documents and illegal stay in the country. The Kasaba police nabbed Ogifoga Rvis Umar, 28, and Prince Okfar, 29, from a lodge near the Kerala State Road Transport Corporation bus station. Sixteen bundles of fake dollars, a box containing chemicals and a machine were seized from them.

One of the accused, Sylva Flef Frank, is absconding, the police said.

The lodge authorities alerted the police on suspecting the Nigerians of illegal activities.
