CCTV Takes photos Of Young Boy Stealing iPhone 13 at Ikorodu Wedding
A CCTV camera captured a young boy allegedly stealing an iPhone 13 at a wedding in Ikorodu, Lagos State, in an incident that has sparked reactions on social media and renewed discussions about security at public events.
The footage, widely shared on social platforms over the past day, shows a child at a wedding ceremony approaching a guest’s table before picking up an iPhone 13, believed to belong to the groom’s younger sister. The moment was reportedly captured without interruption by a security camera set up at the venue.
According to posts accompanying the video, the wedding took place at an event centre in the Itamaga area of Ikorodu on Saturday. Witnesses and social media users described how the young boy blended into the crowd during the celebrations before the phone was taken.
While the video has circulated widely, there has been no official statement from police or wedding organisers about the identity of the boy or whether the phone has been recovered. No arrests have been confirmed publicly.
Reactions from viewers online ranged from amusement to concern, with many questioning how easily the theft occurred at a social event and urging stricter security measures for personal belongings at gatherings.
Security experts note that CCTV footage often plays a crucial role in identifying suspects and aiding investigations into thefts and other crimes, especially where eyewitness accounts are limited. Engagement of event security teams and awareness by guests about their valuables can help deter similar incidents in the future.
As the story continues to gain traction, many are calling on the relevant authorities to take action and recover the stolen device while also addressing broader concerns about theft at public events.
