A 24-year-old lady, who was posing as a policewoman, has been arrested by the Osun State Police Command for allegedly robbing different Point of Sale (POS) operators in Osogbo, the capital city of Osun State. The lady was arrested for impersonation and robbery, according to SP Yemisi Opalola, the command's spokesperson. Opalola revealed that the lady had presented herself as a police officer serving at the Ata-Oja Police Division and robbed a sales girl of her bag containing a PoS machine, N20,000, and one phone valued at N15,000 in April. The residents of the community attempted to lynch her after her impersonation was discovered, but the Osun State Police intervened and took her to the Ata-Oja Police Division in Osogbo.
The police were able to recover an amount of N246,650, an Opay PoS machine worth N30,000, one phone, one Ekiti State University identity card, and one voter's card after the arrest of the imposter. They also found two PoS business record books and one Itel phone without battery, suspected to belong to another victim.
