A Nigerian boy is apprehended while attempting to poison his best buddy and two others in order to steal their iPhone X.
A video circulating on social media depicted a young boy’s frantic attempt to take the lives of three individuals in order to steal and flee with one of their smartphones.
He could be heard being questioned on the video about how he planned to carry out the plan without being discovered. He admitted to putting rat poison in their meals in the hopes of murdering them.
His best friend could be heard in the background feeling betrayed by the move, but was calmed down so that the teenager could give his whole confession. The 30-second video, however, did not detail how the plan failed, and whether or not he was handed over to the police for further investigation.
“Little boy want to poison his bestfriend and 2 brothers because he want to thief iPhone X,” the caption on the video read.
The video has since sparked mixed reactions on social media as many berated his desperation for a device that has a short lifespan.
