Police have seized a Point-of-Sale operator who is accused of going on a spending binge after a commercial bank
accidentally sent N280 million to his account.
A POS operator named Alfa Rafiu was
taken into custody by the police on Monday in Kwara State's capital city of
Ilorin.
According to locals familiar with
the matter, Rafiu went on a spending spree soon after receiving the
notifications in batches a few weeks ago.
He should have notified the bank
that a sizable amount of money had been accidentally transmitted, but instead
he went on a spending spree.
"Rafiu funded travelers to the
more modest Hajj by buying them homes and cars. According to one of the
reports, he was friendly to many residents of the area despite the fact that
some of them were surprised by his sudden wealth as a POS operator.
According to additional evidence,
the bank auditors realized their error after they had already sent Rafiu to
Lagos and sent law enforcement agents to find him.
SP Ajayi Okasanmi, the state police
public relations officer, confirmed the incident when contacted.
"His arrest was carried out by
the Force Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department from
Alagbon-Close, Ikoyi, Lagos, which makes it outside of our jurisdiction,"
Okasanmi said.
