Police arrest Kwara PoS operator for squandering N280m alert
Men of the Nigerian policemen have arrested a Point of Sale operator who reportedly went on a spending spree after N280m was erroneously transferred to his account by a first generation commercial bank.
The POS man simply identified as Alfa Rafiu was arrested by the police on Monday in Ilorin, Kwara State capital.
According to sources in the area, Rafiu went on a spending spree after he received the alerts in batches some weeks back.
He bought houses, and cars and sponsored scores of people to lesser Hajj in Saudi Arabia. Although he was generous to several people in the Community before, some residents were surprised about his sudden wealth as a POS operator.
It was further gathered that the bank auditors later discovered the error and sent law enforcement agents after Rafiu who was arrested and moved to Lagos.
His arrest was carried out by the Force Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department from Alagbon-Close, Ikoyi.
Nigerians are blaming the spendthrift Alfa for not alerting the bank on the receipt of such a homogonous amount of money instead of doing father Christmas with the money that does not belong to him.
