Newly Employed PoS Staff Abscond With N407,000 On First Day
Two recently hired employees at a Point of Service (PoS) kiosk in Lokoja, Kogi State, reportedly defrauded their employers of N407,000 on their first day at work, within five hours.
The incident occurred at kiosks situated in front of the Nigeria Union of Journalists office.
The suspects, identified as Victor and Victoria, allegedly withdrew substantial amounts from their employers’ PoS terminals and bank accounts.
According to one of the employers, identified as Bello, both suspects had initially sought employment at the kiosks and were asked to provide guarantors to back their request.
“Last Monday, the two persons, who gave their names as Victoria and Victor came to our shops and requested to be employed. We told them to produce a guarantor, according to the business law, of which they promised to do it shortly,” Bello stated.
“On Saturday, they came back again, pleading to be allowed to start work. After much probing, we coincided to their request and allowed them access to all our financial documents, including the terminal and its pin.
