A phone shop saleswoman in Abuja got the surprise of her life after catching suspected phone swappers red-handed. When she opened the boxes they were carrying, she discovered they had neatly packed fufu (pounded cassava) inside what looked like brand-new iPhone boxes.
The incident happened yesterday in a phone shop in Abuja. Three suspects – two men and one woman – tried to swap an iPhone 17 Pro Max worth ₦2,500,000 with a fake one. The alert sales attendant noticed their suspicious moves, caught them immediately, and raised an alarm. Other phone shop owners in the area later linked the gang to several previous thefts of iPhone 15 models and other devices, using old CCTV footage as evidence.ѕєє тнє ν!∂єσ нєяє
