My friend was arrested because his POS was traced to a ₦500,000 transfer from a defrauded victim. There is this particular customer who has been doing POS transactions in my friend’s shop for over six months. He claims to be a visa agent and sometimes uses my friend’s POS to receive money from his clients. What he does is collect money from people while promising them visas to their preferred countries. Once they send the money, he starts giving them different stories. One day, he defrauded the younger brother of a senior officer in the country. They tracked the account and got my friend arrested. The sad part is that my friend doesn’t know where the man lives, and the phone he used to communicate has been switched off. My friend ended up paying ₦2,500,000 before they released him from detention.
