Why did you abandoned your property for another man to hold..
Don't be economical with the truth..you could have stated the date you took the tv there and the date you were ready.
I am not supporting anyone but both of you are not serious.

wont work that easy. From his explanation, the money has been spent on the wrong TV. Lol

ZeemsPropeties:
Your first mistake was leaving your device with a Lagos technician.

Common sense should tell you in this age, never leave anything with a repair guy...you should have learnt from the most common of all which is phone.

Just forget the police, you'd spend more and your TV won't come out anytime soon. Best bet is to go to the market union to resolve the issue. But you sef no try, why did you leave your TV there for so long, and instead of you to go confirm your TV when you had the money, you just sent only the money without going to confirm if your TV was still there and the screen cost was still the same.....

Please I need advice urgently on this TV repair issue at Arena Market, Oshodi.

I gave my 55-inch TV to a technician who took it to Arena Market, Oshodi to fix the screen. When he got there, they charged ₦210,000, which was a bit above my budget. I told him to hold on while I raised the money. I wasn’t in a hurry because I had another TV I was using at home.

By April this year, I had the money ready, so I contacted him, got his account details, and paid the full ₦210,000. Since then, he kept delaying, saying they were still working on it. Then just last week (July), he said the TV was ready and brought it to me.

But what he brought was a 43-inch TV, not my 55-inch. I immediately raised concern. That’s when the repairer at Arena told him he had made a mistake — he had worked on and delivered someone else’s 43-inch TV, thinking it was mine, while my original 55-inch was still lying untouched in the store.

Now here’s where it gets worse:

He told me to hold on to the 43-inch TV for now. He said he would look for a buyer for the 43-inch screen, and once he sells it, I should bring it back so he can either refund me or we can renegotiate fixing my 55-inch — because, according to him, the cost is now higher than the ₦210,000 I already paid.

When I asked how long this would take, he said he can’t tell.

Honestly, I feel scammed and disrespected. I’ve been patient all along, but now I’m fed up. I don’t cheat people, and I can’t stand being cheated either.

Please house, is there any authority, market union, or consumer protection body I can report this to at Arena Market?
I’m considering involving the police, but I want to get proper advice before reacting out of anger.

What’s the best step to take from here?
