Are you a criminal? – Customers destroy POS stand, chase attendant for charging N4k to get N10k (Video below)
Angry residents destroyed a POS stand because the attendant charged an outrageous amount for money to be withdrawn.
In a video circulating online, a man could be seen venting after learning that they would have to pay N4,000 to collect N10,000.
Customers who wanted to withdraw money but were discouraged by the enormous fee, surrounded a lady working as a POS operator and told her that she would not be allowed to work.
She, however, explained that she was only acting on the instructions of her employer and she did not solely decide on the N4k charge.
But the furious men decided to dismantle the lady’s POS umbrella and table, so she was forced to walk away.
The vocal man who challenged her could be heard continually expressing anger at the level of exploitation people are subjected to in the country.

Similarly, Edujandon.com reported earlier that residents went on rampage in Warri, Delta state as a result of the scarcity of new Naira notes.
Youths staged a protest in the state following the inability to get cash and in the process, they damaged some Point of Sale (POS) terminals.
A video which surfaced online shows the protesters destroying a POS stand because they claimed the operators are extorting them amid the naira shortage.
Prior to the scarcity, POS operators charged N100 for N5,000 withdrawn but they now charge as much as N1500 for same amount to be withdrawn.
According to reports, some POS attendants said the reason for the increase was so that they could make their money back as they purchase the new Naira notes from some bankers as well as filling station station attendants.
