A member of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has reportedly fallen victim to a scam at Computer Village after being tricked into buying what was believed to be an iPhone.
According to reports, the corps member purchased the device from a seller in the busy Lagos tech hub, only to later discover that the box contained fufu instead of a phone.
The incident has since gone viral, with many Nigerians expressing frustration over the recurring cases of fraud in popular gadget markets.
While some sympathised with the victim, others used the moment to warn buyers to stay alert, especially when dealing with unfamiliar sellers or making expensive purchases.
Read some netizens’ reactions below;
@xexiboy2: “Now ask yourself how did this corper graduated. Forget about the scam which is bad. Let’s talk about buying a phone, paying for it without opening or powering it up to check before leaving the shop. A graduate. A serving corper. If this can happen to such, i wonder how he graduated.”
@JaraWhytee: “Police won’t even answer you, when you chase ridiculously cheap price that’s what you’ll get in computer village.
I totally don’t get how you won’t even turn on, confirm what you have before the seller leaving your sight, this Copper na JJC.”
@dea86b7cb7ae46c: “So some people mumu reach where them go sell fufu as phone for them and they go pay carry go house.. Omo some people life don too spoil”
Computer Village, widely known as one of the country’s biggest markets for mobile phones and accessories, has often come under scrutiny over fraudulent activities, despite efforts by authorities and market leaders to address the issue.
