POS operators are urged to exercise caution when releasing large sums of money, especially amounts as high as N2,500,000.
The Public Relations Officer of Delta Police Command, SP Bright Edafe posted this precaution on his official X account.
According to him, caution is particularly important when customers are accompanied by armed individuals who may pose as kidnappers.
“This is an advice to POS operators, releasing money as high as N2,500,000 is dangerous, especially when they are being accompanied by armed men who could be kidnappers, Saying it’s business or whatever you call it.

“We had a case where the kidnappers confessed that they forced their victims to transfer ransom money to POS and later meet them and get cash. Do you say oh it’s my business and I am not culpable? Avoid being held for conspiracy.
“Whoever comes to you for that huge amount of money should go to the bank for cash or even do transfer. Even CBN policy forbids such huge withdrawals. Are POS operators bigger, stronger, or wiser than CBN?
“Even if you must release it, do a video of the so-called customers and people who accompanied him. If they have genuine intentions, they won’t be afraid of being recorded on camera,” he said.
