A Nigerian man living in Middlesbrough, United Kingdom, has recounted how he chased some teenagers who snatched his headphones in broad daylight in Middlesbrough, United Kingdom.
According to him, he was walking down the road with his headphones plugged into his ears when a group of boys on bikes snatched the device.
He said he watched them flee, saw where they turned into and he took a shortcut to go and wait for them.
He said he succeeded in collecting his device back from them despite one of them bringing out a crowbar to fight him.
He warned fellow Nigerians to be extra cautious when walking in Middlesbrough.
The video has led to many Nigerians wondering if the UK is actually safer than Nigeria as some people believe.
