No doubt stolen phones do get through. But this a most exaggerated article written by a scum newspaper known for their falsehood and attention grabbing headlines.

Your IQ would have to be borderline dumb to read The Sun UK or Daily Mail.

Most so called "UK Used" phones are actually US used. Purchased from the US. Wonder why they have been given a general name as "UK" used.

Fellow Tory Andrew Percy said: “It is truly shocking to think that violent attacks here in the UK are being used to make black marketeers in other parts of the world wealthy.”

Funny! What about stolen funds from Nigerian politicians stashed in uk banks?? You see my friend Percy, an imbalance somewhere, is an imbalance everywhere!

This is trash and the Nigerian government has to react strictly to this and sternly warn the UK. I am currently in London on holidays and there is an increase in crime especially in North London. Just yesterday, two people were attacked in two unrelated incidents. One is dead and the other fighting for his life.

The rise in crime in London has been blamed on the increase in immigration by Londoners. They blame everyone from Africa to Eastern Europeans. However, they are yet to ascertain the rise in crime. This publication from Sun is an excuse to heap the blame on Nigerians in North London and link the increase in crime to them.

It is nonsense and pure speculation and the usual behaviors of westerners to pass the blame around to everybody apart from themselves.

A typical western news. "tech starved Middle class." The litany being repeated across the article and portraying Nigerians as those who are yet to enter the "smartphone age" Yet more than half of Nigerian phone users are using smartphones, smartphones that include high end iPhone and Samsung phones. The age of "London used" phones is even receding since there are now cheap tecno phones and infinix.

This news is thrash. They should address their security challenge and stop dragging Nigeria into it.

I tell you. Very typical of them. Junk journalism. Quite easy to blame countries like Nigeria because they know it sells and there's nothing we can do about it.

But it is UK nationals that are stealing the phones from their fellow citizens. They should fight phone theft in their country rather than blaming eastern Europe and Lagos.

The funny thing is that in Port-Harcourt they advertise UK used as free from crime making most buyers prefer them.

That’s the annoying part of it. Tech starve middle class - that’s an insult. Nigerian middle class don’t buy used phones. If there is one thing Nigerian middle class is good for is to show off their new phones. Phone manufacturers are very aware of this. However, they want to continue painting Nigeria as a backward country to sell their motives. Ignorant whites.

Let them go and fix their crime problems. Let me even state that London is just like Lagos, dirty, crowded/congested. I have seen hawkers and beggars on the streets of London and they were not blacks. As I write this, I’m in traffic congestion. The only difference between London and Lagos is the organization. Apart from that, it’s trash with cold and rain falling almost everyday.

The report is not complete on the destination of phones stolen from the UK. I read a report some years back on how a large number of phones stolen from the US & UK ended up in Brazil. Now the report only spoke about Lagos because Lagos has a bad name already. There are a number of cities in the world where stolen tech end up in.

It's common knowledge that most of those so-called London used phones are stolen phones.

You don’t understand the motive. They want to link the crime rise to Nigerians/Africans in London. That’s the motive.

This people are getting it wrong. the term U.K used phones is used to describe phones not brand new and used overseas. it's used to attract more buyers cos of the believe that anything used in the UK has higher quality compared to Nigerian used. Most of these so called UK used phones are even china refurbished phones. not even gotten from UK..

Historically, London has always been a very dirty and ugly city. They merely improved after the industrial revolution. Now, it's sinking back into its old ways. It's very appalling and annoying when they spew rubbish about blacks and Eastern Europe while trying to exonerate themselves. A typical English person believes he is better than every other person on earth.
