“But instead of him to draw the attention of the bank that mistakenly transferred the huge fund, he went on a spending spree.

 

 

 

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

 

 

 

It was further gathered that the bank auditors later discovered the error and sent law enforcement agents after Rafiu who was arrested and moved to Lagos.

 

 

 

When contacted, the state Police Public Relations Officer, SP Ajayi Okasanmi, confirmed the incident.
