A Nigerian lady has reportedly gotten her ex-boyfriend arrested after he attempted to retrieve the phone he had purchased for her while they were still in a relationship, sparking massive debate online.
The drama came to light through a post shared on the video-sharing platform TikTok, where a narrator detailed the sequence of events that led to the unexpected arrest.
According to the narrator, his male friend had gifted his then-girlfriend a phone sometime last year. However, as their relationship hit troubled waters and eventually ended, the man returned to demand the phone back, insisting it was his property since he bought it.
Unbeknownst to him, the lady had already made a smart move: she had swapped the original phone for a new one and made sure the receipt for the exchanged device was in her name, leaving no legal ties to her ex-boyfriend.
Narrating the event, the friend said, “The guy bought a phone for the girl last year, but when the boy started misbehaving, the girl swapped the phone and got a new receipt in her name.”
When the ex-boyfriend came to retrieve the device, the lady stood her ground, refused his demand, and escalated the matter by getting the police involved, resulting in the man’s arrest.
The viral TikTok post quickly garnered attention across social media platforms, leading to a flurry of reactions from netizens who took to the comment section to share their diverse opinions on the situation — from support for the lady to criticism of both parties.
