In a bizarre twist of events, security personnel in Lagos have arrested a mentally unstable man found with 27 SIM cards in his possession.
The man, described by eyewitnesses as a “lunatic,” was apprehended in a suspicious state, triggering fears of potential criminal activity or fraud.
According to reports, the suspect was loitering near a commercial area when his erratic behavior drew the attention of the public. Upon inspection, authorities discovered a suspicious bag containing multiple active SIM cards from different networks.
The case has since been handed over to law enforcement for further investigation. While initial impressions point toward mental instability, some experts suggest he may have been used as a front for larger criminal operations.
This incident has sparked debate over the security implications of such findings, especially in an era of rising digital fraud and phone-based identity theft in Nigeria. Authorities are now working to trace the origins and activation details of the recovered SIMs.
Lagos residents have been urged to remain vigilant and report unusual behavior, as the fight against cyber and communication-related crimes continues to escalate.
