Popular Nigerian actor Charles Oputa, known as Charly Boy, has raised the alarm, stating that the newly redesigned N1000, N500, and N200 notes have gone out of circulation.
This comes after the Supreme Court ruling in March, which stated that the old version of the Naira notes shall continue to be legal tender alongside the new Naira notes until December 31, 2023.
Emmanuel Agim, a member of the seven-man panel of the court who read the lead judgment, also declared that President Muhammadu Buhari’s directive for the redesign of the new notes and the withdrawal of the old notes without due consultation is invalid.
However, Charly Boy observed that only the old notes are being circulated since the supreme court’s ruling, as he shared on his Twitter page.
He shared a photo that reads, “I nor dey see new naira notes again oo.”
He captioned it, “Why why why? Can somebori tell me why?”
