A Nigerian teenager has been caught in an attempt to kill his best friend and his two brothers over intentions to steal an iPhone X belonging to one of them.
The boy was questioned in a video that has now gone viral. The suspect confessed that he had added rat poison to the food of the three people in the hope of killing them.
His best friend could be heard in the background feeling betrayed by the move but was calmed so as to get the full confession from the teenager. The 30-second video, however, did not detail how the plan failed, and whether or not he was handed over to the police for further investigation.
“Little boy want to poison his bestfriend and 2 brothers because he want to thief iPhone X,” the caption on the video read.
The video has since sparked mixed reactions on social media as many berated his desperation for a device that has a short lifespan.
