A dramatic incident has gone viral online after a man allegedly attempted to steal a high-end mobile phone worth ₦1.2 million during a pay-on-delivery transaction.
According to reports, the suspect had ordered the device online with the option to pay upon delivery. However, when the dispatch rider arrived at the agreed location, the man requested to inspect the phone before making payment.
In a surprising turn of events, the situation escalated when the man allegedly took possession of the phone and immediately fled the scene without paying. His escape attempt was short-lived, as he was reportedly apprehended shortly after.
The incident has since sparked widespread reactions on social media, with many Nigerians questioning both the suspect’s actions and the delivery process.
