A Nigerian man’s quest to join the ranks of iPhone 15 owners turned into a distressing ordeal when he discovered that the phone he had purchased at Computer Village was, in fact, a cleverly disguised package of fufu.
The incident occurred in the midst of the iPhone 15 craze that has gripped the nation, with tech enthusiasts and consumers flocking to stores to acquire the latest Apple offering.
Eager to be part of the “geng,” the unsuspecting man sought to upgrade to the new iPhone model, only to find himself the victim of an elaborate scam.
The victim, whose identity remains undisclosed, had ventured to Computer Village in Lagos, a bustling hub known for its wide array of electronic gadgets and accessories.
Expecting to walk away with the coveted iPhone 15, the man was instead left in shock and disbelief when he opened the carefully packaged box.
To his dismay, instead of the cutting-edge technology he had anticipated, the box contained neatly wrapped fufu.
The fufu had been positioned in a manner that gave the impression of the expected weight and dimensions of an iPhone, thereby deceiving the unfortunate customer.
In a video that has since gone viral on social media, the defrauded man can be seen displaying the bizarre contents of the box to a small crowd of onlookers.
He was clearly distraught, and his lamentations could be heard as he grappled with the realization that he had fallen victim to a scam.
