A Nigerian lady has landed in trouble after stealing two iPhones from a neighbor who repairs phones, only for the devices to find their way back to the rightful owner through an unexpected twist.
She had handed the stolen phones to her cousin to help her sell them, but in a shocking turn of events, the cousin unknowingly took the phones back to the same neighbor—who originally owned them—to assist with the sale.


This bizarre incident was shared in a viral post on X (formerly Twitter) by a user who claimed to have witnessed the drama unfold.
According to her, the lady stole the two iPhones from a neighbor who works as a phone engineer.
Unaware that the devices were stolen, the lady’s cousin—who lives with her—took them back to the same phone repairer, asking for help to sell them.
Sharing the story online, the poster wrote: “You guys, my friend’s neighbor stole two iPhones from their other neighbor who repairs phones and gave it to her cousin to help her sell (the cousin lives with her).”
“The cousin didn’t know where the phones came from and gave it to the repairer neighbor to help him sell it.”
She added that the phone repairer was visibly shocked and confused when he recognized the phones as his, and couldn’t believe what he was seeing.
The post has since gone viral, drawing reactions from amused Nigerians who flooded the comment section with their thoughts on the ironic situation.
