The Nigerian police have apprehended a POS agent who was unwittingly an accomplice in the web of kidnapping and extortion.
S.P Bright Edafe shares the interview he had with a lady doing the POS business and how a customer of hers, also now arrested, sent the sum of four million naira to her account for withdrawal.
The lady explained that the kidnapper, Timothy has been her customer who regularly patronize her services. So when he had sent her the ransom money unannounced, she did not panic.
She also mentioned making a profit of forty thousand naira from the deal but that cannot be compared to the trouble it would cost her now.
The police officer then warned other POS agents of doing any transaction over five hundred thousand naira because at the end of the day, it’s mostly fraudulent.
Here are the reactions that trailed the news:
