The PPRO gave the warning in a post on Thursday, October 17, 2024, when he paraded a female POS operator who allegedly received N4m ransom on behalf of kidnappers.
SP Bright Edafe, the spokesperson for the Delta State Police Command, has issued a warning to Point of Sale (POS) operators.
He warned them to desist from transacting large sums of money to anyone as they run the risk of being held as accomplices to kidnappers.
The PPRO gave the warning in a post on Thursday, October 17, 2024, when he paraded a female POS operator who allegedly received N4m ransom on behalf of kidnappers.
“My message to POS operators, transactions above 500k can get you into trouble. Don't be a tool for kidnappers to collect ransom. It must be traced to you. She received #4,000,000 ransom from kidnappers and her profit was just #40,000.
"Can you imagine? Be wise, you may argue that you are doing business, but before your lawyer will get you out, you may spend sometimes cooling off in prison,” he wrote.
