POLICE NAB MAN FOR ALLEGEDLY DEFRAUDING FIVE POS
Operatives of the Lagos state police command have arrested a 26-year-old man identified as Emmanuel Okoroafor, for allegedly defrauding POS operators in the state.
Emmanuel Okorafor was arrested yesterday evening in Ojota where he was caught in an ATM fraud.
Okorafor has been defrauding POS operators with various sums of money. He normally gives them a figure in seven, which the operator would enter into his POS (N52,000:00). Once the machine is handed to him to enter his PIN, he would cleverly delete two zeros (N5,200:00) before returning it to the operators.
With this, the operators pay him N52,000:00 while he is debited N5,200:00.
Information available indicates that he started it three weeks ago and re-acted the same fraud in five POS points yesterday around Ogudu GRA and Ojota before he was arrested in the evening.
As at yesterday, he played the same fraud to three POS operators.
Some of the POS operators said they have accused and sacked many of their attendants for stealing their money.
