A Nigerian man has successfully recovered his stolen package after a delivery rider absconded with it for three weeks. The dramatic recovery, shared in a viral TikTok video, has stirred reactions across social media.
According to the man, the rider had picked up a customer’s parcel for delivery but disappeared without a trace. Multiple calls and messages to the rider went unanswered, sparking a three-week manhunt.
Three-Week Hunt for the Missing Rider
Determined not to give up, the victim and his friends spent weeks searching for the missing rider. They even paid for a phone tracking service, but the results were inconsistent.
However, a major breakthrough came when they discovered that the rider’s phone number was linked to his girlfriend. Using a clever plan, the man posed as someone interested in the lady on TikTok. Through casual chats, she unknowingly revealed key details that led them to the rider’s location.
Girlfriend Used to Set the Trap
After building her trust, they arranged to meet in person. Unknown to her, the police were already involved. The rider arrived at the meeting spot, expecting to meet his girlfriend’s “new admirer,” but was immediately arrested by security officers.
Justice Served
The operation was successful as the stolen package was recovered. The man expressed his joy on TikTok, captioning the video:
“How we caught a dispatch rider that ran away with our package through his girlfriend. Dispatch riders, how do you deal with this situation?”
The video has since gone viral, with users applauding his creativity and warning business owners to be more cautious when hiring delivery riders.
