Lady alleges suspected thieves demanded N150,000 to return stolen iPhone 14 Pro Max after midnight burglary


A lady has sparked conversations online after claiming that suspected thieves allegedly demanded money to return an iPhone 14 Pro Max stolen during a midnight break-in at her aunt’s home.

According to her account, the incident occurred at about 2 a.m. when the suspects reportedly gained access to the house by cutting through a window net with a razor blade.

During the alleged burglary, they reportedly stole her cousin’s iPhone 14 Pro Max, which she said had been purchased only a few weeks earlier.

She further claimed that when the family called the missing phone, someone answered and allegedly demanded ₦150,000 before agreeing to return the device. According to her, after her aunt refused, the amount was reduced to ₦50,000.

The woman wrote:

“This country is not safe again. Thieves broke into my aunt’s house around 2 a.m. yesterday. They used a razor blade to cut through the window net and stole her son’s iPhone 14 Pro Max, which he had only bought a few weeks ago. When she called the phone, someone answered and demanded ₦150,000 before The phone can be returned. She refused, so they reduced the amount to ₦50,000. She pretended she was willing to pay and asked them to send their account number, but they said they would rather call it out over the phone. She recorded the conversation, including their voices and the account details they provided. The account they shared appears to belong to a POS agent.”

The claim has since generated reactions on social media, with many users urging the family to hand over the recorded conversation and account details to the police to aid investigations.
