StrikeBack: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. 6 Likes |

ThatReporterz: There are trusted dealer who buyers directly from Foreign companies and I am one of such dealer. Why will anyone buy a second hand phone from a road side? Isn’t that foolishness and greed? Secondly receipt wasn’t issued. Abeg nor spoil our daily bread for us. I am an iPhone dealer in Delta State and I buy my goods directly from companies overseas. 2 Likes |

Pls read also. # copied 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! # EndSARS # EndSARS - Wole Adebayo 19 Likes 2 Shares |

Anytime you wanna buy anything from anybody, insist on transferring the money to his/her account. If he/she begin to talk about having issues with his/her account, ATM card expire and all those stupid talks, run. In 2019, I wanted to help a friend buy a Nigerian used 2005 Toyota corolla for N1.1milion from a woman in Lagos. I asked her to give me all the original documents, custom papers, receipt of purchase, plate number allocation receipt, registration documents etc. The woman was just looking at me like where did this one come from. I went to licencing office in Ikeja to verify all the documents and they were all genuine but the car was registered to a lady who this woman claimed is her sister. I spoke with the lady on phone, she agreed to the sales, I then insisted on transferring the money to the seller's bank account. She said she took loan with the account and the money will not come out if l transfer to it. I told her I won't pay cash and that I won't transfer to the account of the other lady I didn't see in person. She had to bring her husband who show me all his ID card and those stuff, I paid the money into the man's account, did receipt, change of ownership and police report. It cost me like additional 15k for all these but l didn't mind. So when I was driving the car away, they started laughing calling me outdated, old school etc, who cares? My friend is still driving the car around with peace of mind. 20 Likes 2 Shares |

Grandmeister: Here is how it works, there are programs online people use in wiping iPhones into a mode called bypassed mode. Bypass mode allow a secondary user to make use of the phone not knowing the original owner whose iCloud wasn’t logged out can still track the phone. That’s why it’s advisable to buy from trusted dealers with shops, location and receipts. I hope my explanation helps, i am an iPhone dealer 3 Likes |
