 I feel pity for the innocent guy that might still be in police custody due to his mistake and ignorance, such situation have put a lot of innocent people out there in a big mess. That's why I'm the last person that would patronise fairly used gadgets, I love to buy my gadgets from  the slot or a recognised gadget store where I'll be sold brand new devices and issued the appropriate receipt for the items. And that's cause I've heard awful stories of people that's been victims of the same circumstances therefore I've learnt from their experience.
 The recent one of them all was when a guy shared some experience of how he almost got into police custody cause of a stolen item. In his own case he was neither the buyer nor the seller, but was an apprentice for a  phone repairer who happens to be the third buyer of the stolen item. The actual item was stolen from a rich fulani merchant whose brother was in the Nigerian army and sold to two other people before it finally got to the phone repairer.
 Luckily for the guy narrating the story he was able to escape when noticed some military men grab his boss, they intended taking everyone in the shop with them to the guard room but luck was on his side that day. However buying a fairly used property can be very risky due to such situations and people that indulge in such act needs to be very careful not to buy the wrong item.

Whether from people you know or people don't know, for your own safety, you should stronglyfrowm against buying of second hand phone. Asides the chances of the phone being a stolen phone, you could end up incurring losses for yourself.
A friend of mine saw a phone and on Facebook, it was an infinity phone, worth over 200k market price and he saw the phone on Facebook and the poster was selling it for just 150k, and the phone was just 2 months old with complete accessories, according to the seller. I tried talking him out of it but he ignored my advice and went ahead to buy the phone.  Indeed the phone was very new and had rlthe receipt just as the seller posted which made the whole thing even more suspicious.

My friend was enjoying the phone not until after a month he discovered the phone was bought on instalment from EasyBuy. And we all know what that means.
