Soldiers Nab Uber Driver Alleged to Have Stolen iPhone 16 and Sold It for ₦400k — 1 of 4
1 / 4

Nigerian soldiers tracked down an Uber driver to his home days after he allegedly stole an iPhone 16 meant for delivery. The customer alerted Uber when the driver, identified as Augustine Adimabua, cancelled the ride and switched off his phone after picking up the parcel. Footage shared online shows the moment the soldiers questioned Adimabua at his residence. Investigators say the suspect sold the phone for ₦400,000 shortly after the theft. The incident was first reported on social media by a user who posted screenshots of the Uber complaint messages and later shared the video of the arrest.

How did soldiers manage to track him down so quickly after he sold the phone?

True, that was quick. They probably traced the phone's IMEI or used surveillance footage to locate him.

It's odd that an Uber driver would risk his whole career for one phone sale at ₦400k. Something feels off here.

Using soldiers seems like overkill; shouldn't civilian police handle a theft case like this?

Make we always verify driver details in the app and take pictures of items before they go, to avoid such wahala.
