…Begin campaign against impostors
The Association of Point of Sale Users in Nigeria (APOSUN) has begun an awareness campaign on halting fake POS operators and fraudulent financial transactions across the country.
The Chairman the Board of Trustees of APOSUN, Ibrahim Abdullahi, during an advocacy visit to the FCT Commissioner of Police on Tuesday, said the association was disturbed by the activities of unregistered POS operators.
He explained that the body, with the support of the police, would be sharing data and other useful information on how to track down fraudulent acts being carried out by bandits.
Abdullahi revealed that most of the POS machines were managed by private financial companies and not by the commercial banks.
According to him, it is difficult to regulate the system without having a well-structured management and partnership with the security agencies, especially the police.
He said, “The association is concerned with working with security and financial institutions to bring about sanity in the POS business.”
On his part, the CP, Sunday Babaji, promised to give the association necessary support to rid the society of illegal POS transactions, especially in the nation’s capital.
The association also visited an elder statesman and a former Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development, Sani Zangon Daura, in Abuja and adopted him as its grand patron.
