This one no be new thing naa, I guess you're just getting to know about it now.


I know a guy that spent over 1m just to bail himself from this kind of issue.
People should be careful, there are lots of people still on the run from CV due to this kind of issue.

The real problem is greed, even if the person is dying or needs urgent money, if the price is way lower than the real market price, pls stay away.

Don't think you're lucky or will cash out big if you resell.

I was picked up by SARS at EGBEDA Lagos and was driven
down to Dugbe SARS police station at IBADAN; A day I would
never forget!
Thread.....
# EndSARS
One monday morning like that these 5 SARS officials came
down to my office at Egbeda with one Mr Olumide, a bros that
I know and started questioning me if I knew the Mr Olumide I
told them yes. Mind you they were not on uniform o..
One of them asked me when was the last time I saw the Mr
Olumide I told them like 3 weeks ago. I asked them what was
the whole interrogation about one of them asked me that he
wants to buy a phone I-phone 8 plus I told him I don't sell
phones, mind you am a mobile software engineer. He said but
I sold phone (tecno cx) to the Mr Olumide 3 weeks ago. .
I said yes that I needed some money for my house rent as at
that 3 weeks ago I had to sell my personal phone to the Mr
olamide so I could sort my house rent issue They then
proceeded asking where I got the phone. I told them I bought
it in the GSM village Olugbede market. I opened my drawer
and brought out the receipt of the phone as proof of
ownership.
One of them asked me to take them to the place I bought it.
I said no problem I took them 6 of them,5 SARS and Mr
Olumide to where I bought the Phone I pointed to Mr Usman
the person that sold the phone to me,he didn't deny selling the
phone.
My mind was at rest hoping that am out of whatever trouble it
is not knowing what's gonna happen next.
The next thing they said was that the phone was a stolen
phone and that they have been tracking the phone for about 4
months ago.
I was already shivering then I thought since I bought the
phone and showed my receipt and where I bought it that I
don't have any problem.
One innocent customer came to the Mr usman shop that
moment that he wants to buy something he didn't know they
were on SARS you know dey didn't put on their uniforms.
He was chased out the guy started vexing for the
embarrassment the next thing the SARS started beating the
guy serious beating oh! Their team leader brought out his
pistol and asked him (the customer) to be chained.
The whole market was gathered no one could ask what was
going on we were cuffed too;Me,Mr olumide and Usman,they
took all the Usman phones that he was selling about 52
phones,both new and UK used, because they counted it
though..
The shop was being shared between two people the other
occupant was a woman she was pregnant.
So they wanted to empty her showglass too and she was
claiming that those where not usmans phone their team leader
gave this pregnant woman a serious slap.
Then the Igbo traders intervened and explain that her stuff's
are different from Usman own sha.They packed us inside a
jeep,Highlander Jeep (Me,Usman,Mr Olumide, and the
Innocent customer) chained like criminals and left I was
wondering what's happening.
They first of all took us to Idimu police station,they got down I
didn't know what they went into the station to do we where
still in the Jeep.
Later they brought down the Innocent customer and started
beating him cause he insulted them earlier. At this point I was
very scared mehn!
Our phones has been seized at that moment.
About 30 mins later they returned the customer back into the
jeep and started driving towards Ogba area at agege.BI don't
really know roads like that,I kept wondering where are these
people taking us to. When we got to Ojodu the customer was
already crying and begging that he didn't know they where
police. He was asked to pay 50k right inside the Jeep or he
would be taken to the station he was just crying.
To cut his own part of the story they took him to one ATM
spot he withdrew 18k for them I think that was the whole
money with him and they dropped him there.
We proceeded on our journey
mind you I didn't know where our destination is, I was terrified
like mad seeing the brutalities they have been displaying. Naso
we enter express o It was already getting dark like 7 or so.
They kept driving discussing and laughing,the driver was
playing pasuma Fuji music
The three of us (me Mr Olumide and Usman) where very quiet
during the whole journey.
At last we got to the station after several hours drive I was
just looking like mumu.
They asked us to come down then I silently asked the Mr
Olumide that where are we like this? He said IBADAN.
Ah I don die nobody knew where I am keh not my mum not
any of my family I thought to myself.
My head was blank don't know what to do they marched us to
their OC office and the man started asking us questions one
by one;our names,our statesb and how the phone got to our
hands?
Olumide said he knows me very well and he bought the phone
from me. I told them I bought the phone from Mr Usman with
receipt.
The OC asked me where I got the receipt I told them it's from
Usman that he issued it when I bought it.
This OC now asked one funny question, he was like why didn't
I ask for the INITIAL receipt of the phone before buyingnI was
trying to explain naso I chop another slap from one of the
SARS that I should keep quiet that am talking while their oga is
talking! Omoh
Usman was asked where he got phone the guy said he got it
from somebody a long time ago that the owner just needed
money when he bought it the OC said they should go and lock
us up.
We were disposed of our stuffs everything and were taken into
a cell omoh!.
That cell story sef is crazy mehn.
It has a small passage and 4 cells,everywhere is full no
space,each room has nothing less that 60-70 people even the
passage was full there was just one big OX fan at the entrance
of the passage before entering the whole cell gate. We sha
went through small questioning from their governor in the cell.
They have Marshal,they have governor and OC torture in the
cell���
We sha chop slaps and they searched us they collect 1500
from me.I hid it inside my boxers so those police didn't see it
if not dem for don collect am ..
Now after hearing our story..
The governor Sha told us to come inside cell no 1. Na stand
we stand over night
No space, I never see that kind gathering before like
sardines.We are really suffering in this country I swear.
Fast forward to the next morning around 9:30 they brought us
out to come and write statement;statement with slaps oh! I
was confused I couldn't remember how to spell my name
properly sef. The Mr Olumide I think he has someone in Ibadan
his people came down to the station that morning,after some
discussion and all this man paid about 100k to them and Mr
olumide was released immediately.
Ah I shock.
So Na money matter??I don die!
The IPO came to meet me and Usman and started asking us
where we are from and so on I told him I am from Kogi State,I
for just claim Ondo State Jeje that day O cos my Late dad
was from Ondo, Mum is from Kogi. He asked which part I told
him that it's EBIRA naso these man said all ebira are criminals
this and that that he would make sure I rot in jail. He was so
serious as if it's something personal.
I was confused, he asked Usman. Usman is Hausa but his
mum is from Kogi too but ighala.
Fortunately for Usman the IPO too was an ighala man.
The same Kogi O,they started speaking Ighala language the
werey started smiling.
I just knew my village People are after me at this point.This
man went to bring food for Usman ni Sha. I was still confused
as to what exactly did I do wrong to the IPO.
They allowed me call my mum with the IPO number, I wasn't
allowed to say much to mum on the phone. They just told her
to come to DUGBE SARS station in Ibadan.
It was later in the cell that Usman was telling me that EBIRA
people and IGHALAbpeople don't like themselves. The country
is bled mehn!
No love anywhere.
Imagine! What sort of tribalism is that one? Same state O, My
mum came that second day. She was asked to go and bring
200k.
Mum said she doesn't have such money that where is her son
that she wanted to see her son,these SARS sent her out of the
station that she not ready.
I was there for a week. There is this my uncle's friend at Abuja
that my mum called he knows people. He called the
commissioner of police of Oyo State. The next Monday, I saw
two black jeeps just came into the station compound and they
summoned us,I and usman,two of the SARS people that came
to arrest us and their OC were also taken straight down to the
Commissioner's office at Ibadan. Me I was just looking like
mumu I don't know what was going on. I heard the OC telling
them not to mention the third party (Mr olumide that has been
released the second day) at all in their explanations.
After waiting for like two hours downstairs they took us to the
commissioner's office. It was a two stories building,when I got
there there was one office next to the commissioner's office I
saw my mum and sister sitting there.
I was relieved a bit.
When we got inside omoh see office like palace.
Seeing the OC the Commissioner just asked us that who who
among the two of us (I and Usman) is the mother here
presently. I raised up my hands I was shaking I thought my
own don finish. He asked where is she,before I could talk the
OC said ehn they have called her line that it's switched off
Ahhh! I quickly told the Commissioner that I saw my Mum in
one of those offices just now as we were coming so they sent
for her so she came with my sister.
Guys take care of your mothers O! Nothing like mothers
love;Na me dey inside cell my mama don lean finish ���
So the commissioner started asking us questions. I explained
my own part about the phone how I got it and receipt and all.
He asked Usman he explained.,the commissioner was
surprised
he asked me if I explained to the officers I said yes.
Confused he asked the OC
That why was I there since last week despite I produced
receipt and showed them where and who sold the phone to
me. The OC quickly denied instantly that he doesn't know
about the case that it's until that same day morning that he's
just learning about it ah omoh I was too terrified to even
counter their claims all I just wanted was to leave there alive.
The commissioner apologized to my Mum and warned me to
be careful whenever am buying something like that next time.
Then he asked "who was the complainant of the said stolen
phone,there was total silence.
Ah!
Nothing!! the SARS couldn't say anything Sha.No complainants
and they were threatening us before that the owner of the
phone was robbed that even a car was stolen. So all Na lie!!
We are finished in this country.
I was Sha released that day...
So basically what these people do is to get some phones from
God knows where and note down their IMEI and SERIAL
numbers,give it to someone to sell in a market and start
tracking the phones just to arrest people involved and extort
them claiming it was robbed.
This country is bled mehn!

Please don't place a curse on your children outa anger. Even me sef dey para for Naija police but this our tongue get power so make we mind how we dey use am.



Let me tell you a true life story. A grandfather ignorantly placed a curse on his children outa fear. The old man was traveling in an aeroplane for the first time and suddenly the plane developed fault and all the passengers thought it would crash but nothing like that happened cos it was fixed by the engineers onboard. The old man got heart attack and when the plane finally landed he said "non of my children will ever travel in an aeroplane again" He made that statement because to him he was trying to protect them but he never knew that village people would use it against his unborn children. After many years non of his children were able to travel abroad cos they were always denied visa.....One of his grand children got frustrated and had to visit a prophet to know why he was always denied visa after several attempts. The prophet told him the problem was from his late grandfather, that the man placed a curse on them outa ignorance/fear. Las Las after some spiritual work the curse was broken and he was able to travel.

One of your children could be interested in joining the NPF and he/she won't be able to make it Without knowing their father has placed a curse on them outa anger.......Who knows? Maybe Nigeria fit beta someday. grin

Do not buy used phones shikena.

Some disguised policemen traced one of my colleagues to our office, A phone was stolen in Abuja and the individual was killed, they sold the phone to one of our contractors, the contractor calls this our colleague often because of work related matters, they were now asking him how he knows the person who calls him that they have been calling the new sim (our contractors no) on the phone and the person is not picking, his boss was not around, he ran to meet my boss shaking that this is what is happening, our boss invited them to his office and told them that the individual is our contractor and she will pick his call, oga called her other line and she picked.

The policemen even stated that they had seen his profile and he works at a govt agency that's why they came. Long and short they didn't 'carry' the guy but it seemed they arrested other people who received/ called our contractors no frequently.

I didn't believe they could trace those that called / were called with the new sim in the stolen phone, everything looked like film trick, the guy involved was literally pissing in his pants lool, all for what? Receiving calls from a number.

After they left our boss called all of us and stated we should never buy a used phone that his own friend spent a some months in jail because of it.

There were red flags in the transaction and she went ahead and bought the phone.
(1) The phone was cheap for that amount
(2) the guy insistence that transaction should be done on cash basis.
However, we should insist on receipts when buying such phones.
A transaction of that magnitude must be done through bank.
She will face the result of her action. It's a big lesson to all of us.

This is what is happening all over Nigeria Now , I Want you to read and Learn ... don't fall a victim ...

This is Not the Issue of Sars or Yahoo Boys !!! , This one pass am ....

I Will Write it as a Story and Narration so that many people will understand ....

If you are one of those the use to Buy Second HAND Phones , Fairly used or anything Used in Nigeria , Think twice before making a buying again !!!!

A Guy came to a lady with an Original IPhone X , Asking her to buy , that the owner is seriously sick in the hospital and needs money , he said that the price is normally 250k , But if she get 150k let her pay because of the urgency of the funds , The lady priced 100k ... after much dialogue , he make a fake call and ask the lady to brink money that the owner don agree.

So that Lady asked him to bring his account number , make she do the transfer , na so that Guy tell him say , he get problem with his bank , that he no dey use bank for now , make the girl give him cash , he tell the girl say make they go bank go withdraw , the Guy say make they use Nearby POS services , that he will pay for charges .

So after payment , the Guy gave the girl the phone , and disappear into thin air , the Phone is very very Good , 100% Original and the girl was enjoying it .... After 2 weeks of their transaction ... she received the highest shock of her life ... 4 armed policemen visited her apartment and arrested her.

They told her that the phone she is using was one of the properties collected from a man at a Gun point robbery , that she is one of the suspects , they also told her they on the day of the robbery , the man's 24k Gold watch worth 2.8 Million Naira , Her necklace worth 6 Million naira and her 2 months used Mercedes benz GLE Worth 42 Million Naira was collected from him.

They went further to tell the girl that inside that phone , the a contract and deal that worth over 80 Million naira was also deleted, they said before her release, that she must pay for all these or be charged to court.

They gave her the second option of providing the Guy that sold the Phone to her !!!

To Cut the story short, a Guy who works as an informant to a luxury hotel said he saw the same guy who sold the phone to the girl with the people that arrested the lady, as much as the man who claims that his heaven was stolen, discussing on how the girl go pay at least 5 million before they think of releasing her.

They are there drinking and eating Big meat , and the girl is inside police cell suffering.

Don't Be surprise if those SHOUTING END SARS with You are One of their INFORMANTS

Welcome to Nigeria.

PLS FP.

First of all. If you want to buy a used phone make sure the person selling the phone as an authentic Identity card, Such as National ID card or voters, the receipt of the phone from a verifiable store. Something you can use to track down the person and lastly. Make sure you do a bank transfer as a means of payment. Don't pay cash. With bank transfer payment, you can track down the the seller. Use your brain. Life no hard.

The lady should have at least taken a little information from him, no matter how little.

I once bought a phone from a guy who needed money to settle something urgent, I took a look at the features of the phone and I liked it, so I kept going through any file I could possibly get. I got hold of his email, contact list and some selfies he took and had to screenshot them and sent them to my main phone (without his knowledge) as evidence, since he said he couldn't find the receipt of the phone. I had enough proof, so I sent him the money.
Always be careful and one step ahead in situations like these.

only do business with reputable people. if you are in doubt, do money transfer to trace the seller and let the seller do affidavit for change of ownership. you can snap the picture of seller with the item. if the seller is a criminal, he will not sell the item and 'japa'. police capitalize on ignorance of people.

Exactly. procedure to follow in buying used phone is very complex. police extract, affidavit and receipt. is it not better to buy a used phone?

My first question...how did they unlock the iPhone without password? It is virtually impossible! If you key in the wrong password continually the phone will be locked. So Unless they unlocked it at gunpoint this story no add up.
