A Nigerian man’s effort to make a significant profit from a stolen iPhone 14 has gained attention online after he shared his experience in a viral TikTok video.
According to the man’s account, he came across the high-end smartphone while dealing with a mallam, who allegedly sold it to him for a mere ₦20,000.
Sensing an opportunity, he decided to flip the device for a much higher price, hoping to secure a substantial gain.
After acquiring the phone, he took it to the market, confident that he could resell it at a far higher price.
Initially, he set his asking price at ₦150,000, but after some negotiation, a potential buyer managed to bargain it down to ₦110,000.
However, things took an unexpected turn when the buyer grew suspicious and began questioning him about the phone’s origins.
Under pressure, the man admitted that he had not been truthful about where he obtained the device.
The video has since gone viral, sparking debates about ethics, stolen goods, and the risks involved in buying electronics from unknown sources.
Some social media users criticized him for knowingly engaging in such a transaction, while others found the situation amusing and shared their thoughts on similar cases of street deals gone wrong.
Regardless of the debate, the incident highlights the dangers of purchasing stolen items and the potential consequences of attempting to resell them.
