Spokesperson of the command, SP Yemisi Opalola, who disclosed this to newsmen on Wednesday, May 10, 2023, said the suspect allegedly impersonated a police officer to rob different Point of Sale (POS) operators in Osogbo, the capital.

The PPRO said she was taken into custody on Tuesday after her rescue from a mob.

The personnel who saved her from lynching took her to Ata-Oja Police Division in Osogbo.

“In April, the suspect went to a PoS stand and presented herself as a police officer serving at Ata-Oja Police Division. She ‘arrested’ the sales girl and seized her bag containing a PoS machine, N20,000 and one phone valued N15,000,” Opalola said. 

On their way to Ata-Oja Police Division, the suspect tricked her victim to make a photocopy of a document, but ran away.

Upon arrest, N246,650, an Opay PoS machine worth N30,000, one phone, one Ekiti State University identity card and one voter’s card were recovered. Continue Reading>>>

Investigation showed the suspect had already transferred N100,000 from the recovered PoS machine to a bank account. She will be charged to court soon.
