Avoid Legal Trouble: Delta Police Guide on Cash Transactions
The Delta State Police Command has issued a warning to Point of Sale (POS) operators, advising them to be cautious when handling large cash transactions, especially those exceeding ₦500,000.
This advisory follows an incident where a woman allegedly received ₦4 million in ransom payments for kidnappers via a POS terminal.
According to SP Bright Edafe, the Public Relations Officer of Delta Police, such large transactions could get POS operators into legal trouble if linked to criminal activities like kidnapping.
The police urged operators to avoid facilitating large cash withdrawals and instead direct customers to use bank transfers for high-value transactions.
They also recommended that POS operators record video evidence of customers and those accompanying them, especially when handling large sums, to avoid being implicated in crimes.
