Releasing Money As High As ₦2,500,000 Is Dangerous – Police To POS Operators

This is an advice to POS operators, releasing money as high as #2,500,000 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.
