Alfa Rafiu, a POS operator, was detained in Ilorin, the capital of Kwara State, for reportedly squandering N280 million that was inadvertently routed to his bank account.

According to reports, the suspect, who lives in the Akuji compound, Abayawo area of the state’s Ilorin West local government area, received the money in batches of many millions of Naira a few weeks ago and went on a spending spree.

According to the Tribune, residents in the area, particularly his close pals, were taken aback by Rafiu’s unexpected spending spree.

During an interview with the aforementioned publication, a source in the region blamed the suspect for the difficulty he had gotten himself into.

According to the source, instead of attracting the bank’s notice to the transferred funds, Rafiu purchased vehicles and apartments, as well as financing some people for the lesser Hajj.

“Instead of him drawing the attention of the bank that mistakenly transferred the huge fund to his account, he went on a speeding spree.

“Rafiu bought houses and cars and sponsored people to the lesser Hajj. Although he was generous to several people in the community, some residents were surprised about his sudden wealth as a POS operator”

Rafiu’s arrest was verified by the State Police Command’s spokesperson, SP Ajayi Okasanmi, on Tuesday.

He said, “His arrest was effected by the Force Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department (FCIID) from Alagbon-Close, Ikoyi, Lagos which makes it out of our jurisdiction”
