Okey Bakassi has sounded the alarm after multiple phones were reportedly stolen during a football match in Ikoyi.
He recounted that an unfamiliar young man approached the pitch where he and others usually gather to play and asked to join the game. With the group accustomed to welcoming new players, no suspicion was raised at the time.
Moments into the match, the situation reportedly changed. The man is said to have quietly left the field and moved toward the bench where players had kept their belongings. Before anyone noticed, he allegedly picked up several phones — said to be about eight — and vanished.
Bakassi disclosed that the matter has been reported to the authorities and announced a ₦5 million reward for anyone who can help track down the suspect or recover the stolen devices.
“For everyone else who knows how to track phones and retrieve those phones, there is 5million naira waiting for you, contact me in my DM.”
