The transactions are usually shrouded in secrecy and are done with only known persons as confessed by Mustapha.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis tells you that this person is particularly hired or sponsored to be doing the POS transactions for them.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen the bandits got the information about the arrest of the suspect (their agent) and seizure of the POS machines, they threatened to kill three persons they had abducted from the community earlier if the POS machines are not released to them or if in particular, the suspect is not freed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe people they threatened to kill are the village head of Birnin Tsaba and two party chairmen. The suspect had been operating two POS machines and we have asked banks to close the suspect\u2019s accounts.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have advised the state government to temporarily suspend the operations of the POS, especially in rural communities.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFrom our observation, this will affect the way the bandits are using rural POS operators to make transactions.
