“The POS operator will then consider his status and allow him to go. Later the POS operator will discover that he or she has been duped.
He has been doing this within Ado Ekiti Metropolis defrauding over twenty five POS operators before men of Counter Terrorism Unit launched a manhunt for him with their dragnet which paid of when he was arrested yesterday.
Preliminary investigation showed that he is not a doctor but an okada rider .
Afolabi added that Innocent Ekpako 26 was arrested in Ikom in Cross River state.
Innocent was alledged to have run away with a huge some of money belonging to his master in Ado Ekiti.
The suspect was a former employee of a store in Ado Ekiti where he worked as a sales representative before he was sent on an errand with some money which he did not return. He has disappeared into thin air until he was tracked, traced and arrested in Cross River state.
The two suspects confessed to the crime.
