Student of Benue State University, Alice Ote Okpa (Orphan), a POS operator managing to pay her school fees and other needs from the POS business along bush bar, Makurdi.
On this good day, her daily customer Mrs. CYNTHIA EMMANUEL called her (Alice) to bring sum of 850,000 to her house along Naka Road Makurdi for transaction. Out of trust, she took the money (850k) to her place.
She gave her the money and was waiting for Cynthia to bring her bank card for complete transaction but unfortunately Cynthia brought out a knife and stabbed her on the neck.
Alice struggled, jump out of the house because she saw her coming out with the knife timely and could defend a little. The area people came out and helped her….Cynthia was arrested too.
The rate at which POS operators are suffering in Benue is more than commercial bike operators; from Local yahoo boys to, tax collectors etc.
