Benjamin Hundeyin, Lagos police spokesperson, told journalists on Wednesday that Shinuyere collected his victim’s phone and allegedly transferred the sum of N98,000.
Hundeyin said the police officer used a point of sale machine to transfer the money out of N100,000 in the victim’s bank account.“Police got the complaint from the victim and the officer denied the crime when he was contacted,” Hundeyin said.“We wrote to his bank and obtained his statement of account. We were able to trace the money to where the POS operator transferred it before transferring the money to the officer’s account.“We followed due process to get his account.
“The POS operator was also invited, and he said the officer requested him to transfer the money from the victim’s account to another one. “The commissioner of police, Lagos command, Mr Idowu Owohunwa, reviewed the orderly room procedure of the officer with Force No. 461654, attached to Sogunle Police Division and approved the punishment of dismissal from the force.”Advertisement
