A POS operator has been arrested by the police for allegedly accepting N4 million from kidnappers, sparking an investigation into the operator’s involvement in the criminal activities.

The Delta State Police Command has taken a POS operator into custody for accepting N4 million from kidnappers.

SP Bright Edafe, the Police Public Relations Officer, revealed this information in a statement on Thursday.

He mentioned that the POS operator earned only N40,000 as profit from the transaction.

The police spokesperson cautioned POS operators against participating in any criminal transactions.

He cautioned POS operators that transactions exceeding five hundred thousand naira (N500,000) could lead to serious consequences.

Edafe advised POS operators to exercise caution in their businesses, warning that while they might claim they’re just conducting business, they could end up spending time in jail before a lawyer can secure their release.
