FCTA Arrests 47 Roadside PoS Operators News
Last week, the FCTA had warned that indiscriminate activities of POS operators, especially on the streets and noncommercial areas will no longer be condoned.
It had also disclosed that there were intelligence reports and complaints from residents that strange people were roaming about some neighbourhoods, pretending to be POS operators.The senior special assistant to the FCT minister on Monitoring, Inspection, and Enforcement, Ikharo Attah who addressed the violators at the premises of Abuja Environmental Protection Board Area 3, after the arrest, said the minister has no plan to stop POS business, but concerned about security issues surrounding it.
He explained to them that the POS business was not illegal, but operating outside commercial zones and indiscriminately on the streets was an offence.“Reports on the arrested violators would go to the Minister, to determine and see if the operators comply with the rules of the city which would not give criminals the shield to disguise as POS operators,” he said.
