Essential Tips to Prevent Phone Snatching in Nigeria

Phone snatching is common in busy areas, at night and in traffic. Thieves look for distracted people at bus stops, markets and busy junctions. Keep your device hidden when you walk or ride. Store it in a zipped bag or pocket. Use a strong, grippy case and avoid holding your phone near windows in buses, kekes or cars. Never leave your phone charging in roadside kiosks. If you must take a call on the road, step into a shop and stand with your back to a wall. Wind up car windows when you stop in traffic. Set up tracking services on your device and back up your data. Enable app lock, SIM lock and two-factor authentication to protect your banking apps and personal information.
