Police arrest Kwara PoS operator for lavishing N280m received in error
Police in Kwara State has arrested a Point of Sale (POS) operator, Alfa Rafiu, who reportedly went on a spending spree after N280m was erroneously transferred to his account by a commercial bank.
Rafiu was arrested by the police on Monday in Ilorin, Kwara State capital
The suspect is said to be a resident of the Akuji compound, the Abayawo area in the Ilorin West Local Government Area of the state.
According to sources in the area familiar with the issue, Rafiu went on a spending spree after he received the alerts in batches some weeks back.
“But instead of him to draw the attention of the bank that mistakenly transferred the huge fund, he went on a spending spree.
“Rafiu bought houses, and cars and sponsored people to lesser Hajj. Although he was generous to several people in the community, some residents were surprised about his sudden wealth as a POS operator,” one of the sources said
