Man Arrested for Defrauding POS Operators in Ondo

A 29-year-old motorcyclist identified as Victor Ukachukwu has been arrested by the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, NSCDC for defrauding a POS operator in Ondo via an application he downloaded from the internet.

Mr Hammed Abodunrin, State Commandant of NSCDC, made this known to newsmen in Akure on Friday August 27,2021.

This has been his method of defrauding POS operators and so far he has been successfully carrying out the operation.

The suspect stated after the defrauding the POS operators he accesses his own bank through a firewall application and informs the bank that he made a transaction which failed.

“He would tell the bank that he had bought certain things and the goods were not delivered to him so he wants the transaction cancelled and the money returned to his account. He would go back later and withdraw the reversed amount.

“The suspect was arrested today, we were about to grant him bail and we just felt we should approach his bank and another money just came back into his account, which means that there are so many that will still come back to his account,” the NSCDC Chief explained.
