SHOCKING! Man Sells Soap To Customers For Phone
In a bid to rid the state of crime, the Lagos state police on Saturday, November 28, arrested one Michael Bisa, a 54-year-old man who hails from Effurun, Delta state, for allegedly selling fake phones and replacing original phones with bar soap.
Punch gathered that the police recovered bar soaps, shirts, money and envelopes from the suspect, a father of four, who was arrested by the rapid response squad.

Bisa said: “I was a refrigerator technician in Delta State. I came to Lagos to look for greener pastures about 15 years ago. When the situation got so hard for me, I met a friend, Hakeem Tijani, who is now late. He was the one who taught me the job. Since that time, about four years ago, I have been surviving this way.”
“What I did to my customers is called exchange. The people who came to me to buy mobile phones would be shown a real phone. But while we were discussing the price, I would carefully hide the phone in a white handkerchief and swap it with a bar of soap which I had already cut to size and put in a phone case. As soon as they left the spot, I would change my clothes so that the buyer would not recognize me again,” he said.
