please help me ooo.this news just got me scared.i just got a job as a pos sales person and I am starting on Monday.please what should i do Oooo..

Calm down. You either apply simple security techniques or tell your boss to do so. 1. Tell your boss to install CCTV camera: one is OK. It can cost as low as fifteen thousand naira with 2 channel DVR. 2. Make sure your shop has iron door bars in case of forceful entry. 3. Be very vigilant when going home. 4. Know the kind of friends you keep. 5. Don' keep cash in an open area. Have a safe room for important valuables. 6. Always take a detour when going home and look behind you always. 7. Pepper spray is very important too. Have the numbers of your DPO. Check my blog for your security and safety needs at www.securitymattersafrica.com

It's not wise to keep such amount of money in the house - 500k, 1m. If you are into such business, when it 3:30pm you should go to the bank and deposit the money gained. Keep atleast 50k to run the business for the rest of the day.

Fix the roads.
Fix power problems.
That would help create jobs for all these hungry youths who are terrorizing the country with robberies.

You can't leave people without jobs, and expect low crime rate.

If all these things are okay, those that want to do crime will still do crime

I will tell my friend that's into the business to divert.

This business is a very risky one , dunno why people are rushing into it. It's too risky and not worth the risk, imo.

She should do as the police PRO has said.

Seriously, everything is wrong with that business. I kept wondering when Nigeria became that secure that individuals can now turn to minibanks, announcing to everyone that they keep huge cash at home.

I can't even patronize them for security reasons: who says fraudsters can't device a way to scan people's card details when they insert it?

The business model is dangerous to everyone — the owner and the customers!

Don't keep cash in open area? Running an ATM at home is simply announcing to everyone that you keep cash.

There is crime all over the world. Home attacks, shops etc. But something must always be done. We should be vigilant and battle ready always as NPF is not ready for shit.

You can have daggers, whatever for self defence at home. Safeguard your homes with whatever you can. Defend to arrest and expose.

And let's commit our strategies unto God almighty and that we should not experience such because it can be awful.

I pray our governments wake up to real developments over budget developments. Good road development and network, town planning will aid security.

Nigerians, who have embraced Point of Sales (POS) as business and a means of survival, are now living in fear as robbers have turned attention on them.

Operators at Mowe in Obafemi Owode Local Government Area of Ogun State and those in Ayobo area of Lagos State, who have already experienced the venoms of these robbers, are still recounting their ordeal in the hands of the men of the underworld.

At Mowe community in Ogun State, residents were alleged to have got used to their homes and shops being burgled. They also accepted that nothing could be done by security agents in the state about incessant cases of motorcycles snatching, but presently, they are visibly perturbed following the latest attacks on POS operators.

The daredevil robbers, on most nights, will attack the homes of operators and dispossessed the victims of all their money, used in transacting the business. They also collect other valuables.

One of their victims at Mowe, who gave her name simply as Alhaja Bola, explained that she and her husband were sleeping with their children when the robbers scaled the fence of their building and gained entry into the compound. That was about midnight.

She said: “When they came in, none of us knew they were already inside the sitting room. They started shouting, ‘where is the money? Where is the money?’ When I heard the strange voices, I stood up from my bed. The next person I met on the way was one of the robbers, who marched me to my children’s rooms and ordered everyone to get up.

“The robbers were young boys between ages of 18 and 25. They ordered my children and I to lay face-down and threatened to kill whoever dared to look at them. At that point, a lot of things went through my mind. But most importantly, I thought of my children; I didn’t want anything to happen to them. I prayed.

“While this was going on, three among the robbers went into the rooms and assigned two people to guard us. To my shock, the robbers ransacked the whole apartment and brought out every valuable they could find. They also collected about 10 phones from my children and carted away N500,000 I use for my POS transactions.”

Bola added that the robbers, who were armed with locally-made guns, took their time to finish the operation before leaving two hours later.

She said: “They then went to Olajide Close where they also spent additional two hours and robbed a couple of their money and valuables.

“As I speak with you now, I have not overcome the trauma of the robbery attack. Even my children, who are adults, are also afraid to sleep in their rooms. None of us had ever had a gun pointed at him or her, let alone my children.”

Bola’s son, who spoke on condition of anonymity, explained that the robbers came fully prepared for the operations. He said the robbers took their time in ransacking the apartment and carted whatever tickled their fancy.

He disclosed that after the incident, the matter was reported at Mowe Police Divisional Headquarters for possible arrest of the suspects, but no arrest had been made.

Our correspondent, who went to the community, heard from angry residents that policemen in the axis preferred chasing cyclists and extorting money from them, to embarking on patrol of communities.

Our correspondent also went to Olajide Close, but the victims of the robbers attack were not at home.

On June 20, another set of robbers stormed Mukadamu Street, where a POS operator was also robbed of N1 million in her home.

The victim, who gave her name as Barakat alias ‘Iya Road Safety’, said that fateful day was a day she would never forget for as long as she lived.

She said: “That fateful day, I started transaction on a good note, but about 1a.m. we were sleeping when the strange visitors came and started banging on our gate. They ordered us to open the door and threatened to deal with us if they found their way into our apartment themselves.

“Out of panic, my husband didn’t open the door. They finally scaled the fence to gain access into our compound. When they got into our sitting room, my husband and I had already said our last prayers; because we thought they would do as they had earlier threatened.

“Luckily for us, they didn’t touch us, but they ransacked the rooms for money and valuables. They came out with N1 million. It was the money I had just collected from the cooperative society. I wanted to use the money to boost my business. Immediately I saw the bag containing the money, I urinated on my body. I knew there was no way I could return the money to the cooperative.”

Barakat added that since the incident, police had not been able to arrest the suspects, while she now depended on her children to feed. She said that the robbery wrecked her business.

A police source at Mowe Divisional Headquarters told our correspondent that on a daily basis, they received complaints of POS operators being attacked. The source said that the police were already having a series of meetings with the operators on precautionary methods of doing business in a community like Mowe and its environs.

At House No. 5, Shotayo Adebayo Street, Abesan in Mosan Okunola Local Council Development Area of Lagos State, a similar attack was carried out. One of the victims is Mrs. Nike Akande.

The woman narrated how the robbers collected money in her apartment, which she had earlier took as a loan from cooperative society. She disclosed that the robbery left her devastated.

Akande, a widow, who lost her husband four years ago, decided to go into POS business as a result of her ill health. She revealed that since the death of her husband, things had not been the same for her and her children.

She said: “I was given N1.2 million by my husband’s family members after the demise of my husband, to take care of my children. I decided to go into POS business, so as to have a close look on my younger children, because my first daughter just got admission into the University of Ibadan to study Medicine and Surgery.

“Thank God when I started the business, there was little patronage, but as time progressed, people started coming and the money was yielding profit. I used to close business at 7p.m.. I don’t go beyond that hour.

“On that fateful day, I was about to lock the main gate to our compound when three guys hijacked the gate from me and forced their way into my compound. Before I realised what was happening, they had brought out guns and ordered me into my sitting room. Unfortunately, none of our neighbours knew what was happening.

“When the robbers entered the sitting room, they sat on a couch and asked me to entertain them. Out of panic, I went into the kitchen and got them soft drinks, after which I begged and told them that I was a widow, that they should have mercy on me. I became speechless when they told me how much they came to rob from me.

“When I pleaded with them, I was told to go and bring N1 million. I begged them that the only money I had in the house was N500,000. They collected the money and asked me to pray for them, which I did and then they left. It was after they had gone that I ran out and started shouting; it was my cries that attracted my tenants. We checked round the whole community if we could get them, unfortunately, we couldn’t trace them. That was how I lost my money.”

The Ogun State Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), DSP Abimbola Oyeyemi, refused to pick his calls neither did he reply to the text message sent to him to confirm the attacks on POS operators.

The Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), DSP Bala Elkana said, Point of Sales Operators should take security issue serious especially in a business environment.

Elkana, However, Said, such a cases are isolated one, POS Operations should install Close Circuit Camera in their shops where they are doing business, so that if such incident occurred, Police would be able to analyse the video and go after the robbers.’

“There was a time, when a game centre was robbed, it was the CCTV footage that exposed the robbers and they were arrested.”

human rights activists will not comment or defend the rights of the victims who are helpless in the the face of our overwhelmed security forces. No one cares about the rights of the POS operators and families whose lives are badly traumatised and businesses destroyed.

The day the frustrated people form a vigilante catch and kill the robbers ....those human rights will appear and begin to defend the rights of the robbers.......i think the residents should wake uo from their indifference and slumber and protect their communities.

RamseyBolton:
If all these things are okay, those that want to do crime will still do crime

Of course. There are criminals in every country, no matter how well off.
But we're talking about the explosion of crimes like kidnappings, home invasions, stealing by civil servant rank and file, people joining Boko Haram, online fraudsters, one chance, etc. These types of crimes are increasing in Nigeria. Most of it is because people don't have jobs.

Example, since Donald Trump came to power, crime rate has fallen in the US. That is because Trump's policies has reduced unemployment rate to about 3%.

They should rather find their ways to the houses of senators and house of rep members,(without leaving out also rock)...instead of robbing hustlers like them

Good luck finding your way to a senator's house, who have armed guards.
BTW, do senators stash money at home like POS operators? What is a thief going to get there?

So, you think it's better they just Rob ordinary hustlers? They should double their effort and go take from what the bigger thieves have stolen from the poor masses. There is no way they won't get valuables from them... it's not all about the cash

Nostradamus:
All our past leaders in this country should be stoned to death.they ruin this country now the frustrated youths have taken to violent crimes.

So true!
That was exactly what happened during the French revolution: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_Revolution
All the leaders embezzled, and taxed the citizen heavily.
Hunger and poverty ravaged the land, while the leaders lived in obscene opulence behind massive stone walls.
The people endured. Until they could take it no more.
The French people stormed the king's palace, and tore down the walls.
They killed the leaders, and forcefully seized power back.

Nigerians are among the most tolerant population in the world. But I doubt this suffering will continue forever. They leaders will either have to fix the country, or face the people's wrath. Locking up freedom fighters won't save them then.

Don't be daft. How did you read from my post that "it's better they just Rob ordinary hustlers". Can't you read?
I said attacking a senator is a harder target. Why would a thief want to go and rob a senator who has soldiers guarding him, when softer targets are available? Such a home would also have electric fence and surveillance.

backnbeta:

They have to get in first. Furthermore, if the police ignores a common man's call for help, I guarantee you they won't ignore a senator's call.
