During interrogation, the arrested suspects made confessional statements which have provided useful leads and are significantly aiding the ongoing investigation. The Command is also intensifying efforts to trace and recover the stolen funds, as well as uncover any wider criminal network that may be associated with the suspects. The suspects have been charged to court and remanded in correctional facility. The Ondo State Police Command wishes to use this medium to strongly advise members of the public, particularly traders and POS operators, to exercise a high level of vigilance in their daily transactions. Business owners are urged to: •Always keep their POS devices within sight and control at all times. •Shield their PIN while conducting transactions to prevent unauthorized access. •Be wary of individuals who create unnecessary distractions during transactions. •Regularly monitor transaction alerts and report suspicious activities promptly to the nearest police station. The Command reassures residents of Akure and the entire state that it remains resolute in its commitment to safeguarding lives and property. Criminal elements will not be allowed to thrive, and all those involved in fraudulent and criminal activities will be identified, apprehended, and made to face the full wrath of the law.
