A Nigerian lady has taken to social media to seek help after a man stole her phone at a hospital, demanding payment for its return and challenging her to “do her worst.”

This incident, which has been trending on X (formerly Twitter), was shared by the lady along with a video capturing the theft.

In the video, the man can be seen casually walking around a water fountain.

A few seconds later, he reappears and, after spotting the phone, proceeds to steal it.

After the theft, the lady reportedly contacted the man, only to be told she must pay him to get her phone back or do her worst.

In response, she posted the footage and photos of the man leaving the hospital, asking for assistance in identifying him.

She wrote: “Twitter community pls I’m begging you 🙏, I need this to go viral. This guy came to my hospital at Omole Phase 1 and stole my phone. He said I should either pay him or do my worst. It’s an android phone and I really don’t know how to track it. He’s video and pictures are below.”

The post has since gone viral, sparking numerous reactions and discussions in the comments.

See some reactions below:

@DolapoDollas: “If you wanna track him, you have to report it to the police and the police will track him for you coz they are in better position to track anyone but it’s expensive though. Sorry about your stolen phone, he will be caught.”

@PrinceSpencerJ1: “Just identify who he came to visit at the hospital. You’ll get home from there. Just ask every patient in the hospital”

@itsnurse_amaka: “He didn’t come to visit anyone. He just entered the hospital on false pretense.”

@iam_headboi: “If you have your email logged in the android phone, you can track it with Find My Device. Only when the location is turned on, and data is active.”

@jamin888: “Confirm his purpose of coming to the hospital, if he have relative or someone he came to visit, then follow him from there.”

@Bob_pelumar: “I hope you’re very lucky, insecurity in this country the officals will collect money and won’t do anything. My phone was stolen at work sep 3 this year I paid civil defense tracking unit 20,000 till date they can’t find it I even went to the HS yesterday he just gave false hope.”

@NdeChindoAmper: “It happened in our hospital the man came dressed nicely and stole patients and patients relatives phones but he was caught eventually….He will be caught in Jesus name.”
