Operatives of the Zamfara State Command of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, (NSCDC), have arrested one Mustapha, a POS operator for allegedly making financial transactions on behalf of bandits.
The state commandant, Muhammad Muazu, said two POS machines were recovered, just as the suspect had confessed that the machines were bought for him by a bandits’ leader.
According to muazu, if bandits want to buy drugs, fuel or foodstuff, they send somebody directly to the suspect to collect the money to buy whatever they want for them.
He feared that POS operators in the rural areas are closer to the armed criminals.
