A Nigerian artist identified as Kefchild on social media has narrated how he was bought drinks and Asun (peppered goat meat) with his own money by some pickpockets in Ikeja, Lagos State.

The young man who is also a singer took to his Instagram page to reveal that his wallet containing some amount of money and his iPhone were stolen at computer village by some suspected pickpockets.

He said he called his phone and the suspected pickpockets answered the call and demanded N20, 000 from him, if he wanted to get back his properties.

He said he was given a direction to a bar where they were and after much bargain, they agreed to collect N10, 000 from him.

The victim said while they were on their way to the ATM to make the withdrawal, the suspects started discussing and one of them recognised him as a singer and claimed he is a big fan of his.

He said one of the suspects who recognised him decided to host him with the ransom money saying that is the only way he could get his property back.
