The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has raised a special task force in all its zones against the dollarisation of the economy as well as the mutilation of the currency in the country.

The anti-graft agency in a statement by its Head of Media and Publicity, DELE OYEWALE, disclosed that the task force was raised to protect the economy from abuses, leakages as well as distortions and exposure to instability and disruptions.

The commission said it has already arrested some perpetrators of the acts in both Lagos and Port Harcourt.

It also said proprietors of institutions charging students in dollars have been invited over for questioning.
