A Nigerian man has recently been apprehended following allegations of stealing a highly valuable iPhone 13 Pro Max and attempting to sell it at a local phone shop for a shockingly low price of just ₦30,000.
The incident quickly gained widespread attention after being shared on a popular social media platform, X (formerly Twitter), where users expressed disbelief and outrage over the suspect’s attempt to offload a device worth millions of naira for a mere fraction of its true market value.
In the viral video accompanying the post, voices of bystanders can be heard reacting with shock and disappointment, highlighting how unusual and audacious the suspect’s actions were.
When questioned about his knowledge of the phone’s worth, the man admitted, “I know that it’s close to half a million or maybe even more,” acknowledging the device’s high value despite trying to sell it cheaply.
The video further captures the tension and disbelief surrounding the case, emphasizing the risks and consequences of dealing with stolen goods in the Nigerian market.
Authorities have since launched an investigation to recover other stolen items and to bring any accomplices to justice, underscoring their commitment to curbing theft and illegal sales of expensive electronics.
This case serves as a reminder to buyers and sellers alike to verify the authenticity and ownership of high-value items before making transactions.
