Nigerian gangs make millions from stolen UK phones

Thugs are snatching tens of thousands of phones on UK streets to supply a booming black market run by crime lords in Nigeria, the Sun claims.

The phones, seized by acid-armed yobs, are shipped 4,500 miles to be sold for up to £560 to Nigerians, allegedly.

According to the Sun, the business is booming for the Nigerian racketeers because of soaring demand from the oil-rich middle classes in a country where hi-tech gadgets are relatively scarce.

And because Nigeria has not signed up to a global deal blacklisting stolen phones, moped gangs are able to keep the crime bosses supplied by exporting tens of thousands of snatched mobiles.

 

Menwhile Lagos police spokesman has denied knowledge of the existence of the rackeet saying:  “I am not aware that stolen phones from the UK end up in Lagos. If there is a complaint about a stolen phone in Lagos we shall investigate it.”
