The Inspector-General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, has clampdown on POS operators in Nigeria, citing public concerns.
As reported by The Cable, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, the Force spokesperson, announced the ban in a statement on Monday, March 4.
Adejobi said the directive also includes “other electronic mobile money transaction devices”.
The Force spokesperson added that the development was prompted by “public outcry on alleged illegal and illicit transactions through POS machine operators and connivance with certain police operatives”.
Adejobi noted further that the ban is aimed at “forestalling perceived corrupt practices” and “maintaining discipline within the Force”.
“The Nigeria Police Force, following public outcry on alleged illegal and illicit transactions through point-of-sale (POS) machine operators and connivance with certain police operatives, hereby reiterates the ban on the utilization of POS machines and other electronic mobile money transaction devices within police stations and other police facilities nationwide,” the statement reads.
