A Nigerian teenager was caught in the act while attempting to poison his best friend and his two brothers. The motive behind his shocking actions was his intention to steal their iPhone X. The incident was captured in a video that has been circulating on social media.
In the video, the teenager can be heard being questioned about his plan and how he intended to carry it out without raising suspicion. He confessed to adding rat poison to their food with the hope of killing them.
The best friend, who was present during the interrogation, expressed feelings of betrayal. However, he remained calm in order to extract a full confession from the teenager. The 30-second video does not provide details on how the plan ultimately failed or whether the teenager was handed over to the police for further investigation.
The caption on the video reads, "Little boy wants to poison his best friend and 2 brothers because he wants to steal an iPhone X."
The video has sparked mixed reactions on social media, with many condemning the teenager's desperate actions for a device that has a relatively short lifespan.
