Dispatch Rider Caught After Stealing Customer’s Phone, Attempting To Wipe It (Video)
By Gideon Ayeni

A dispatch rider has been apprehended after allegedly stealing a customer’s phone and attempting to have it flashed at a phone repair shop.
The incident was revealed in a viral TikTok post, where a woman recounted how the dispatch rider vanished with a phone and bag meant for delivery. According to her, the items belonged to her friend, who had accidentally left them behind after a church event. Since her friend was occupied, she took the bag home and later arranged for a dispatch rider to deliver it the next day.
However, instead of completing the delivery to Jakande First Gate, the dispatch rider absconded. When contacted, he repeatedly denied accepting the package, leaving the sender frustrated.
The situation took an unexpected turn when the rider visited a phone repair shop to erase the device’s data. Fortunately, the engineer became suspicious and managed to reach the rightful owner, leading to the rider being traced and caught.
