A member of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has allegedly been defrauded at Computer Village after purchasing what was believed to be an iPhone.
According to reports, the corps member bought the device from a vendor in the popular tech market, but later discovered that the package contained fufu instead of the actual phone.
The incident has triggered widespread reactions online, with many Nigerians expressing concern over the ongoing cases of fraud in major electronics markets. Some also criticized the buyer for not verifying the product before leaving the shop, while others used the situation to warn people to be more cautious when making expensive purchases from unfamiliar sellers.
Computer Village, widely known as one of Nigeria’s biggest hubs for phones and accessories, has long been associated with such fraudulent activities, despite efforts by authorities and market leaders to reduce them.
The story also sparked heated reactions on social media, with users questioning how such a mistake could happen and stressing the importance of checking items properly before payment.
