A Nigerian lady has shared how she handled an unexpected situation after a delivery man accidentally left a stranger's phone among her packages from an online order.

Rather than ignore the situation, the lady tried calling the delivery man straight away. His number was unreachable at first, but she kept trying until she finally got through. She told him plainly that he had left a customer's phone with her by mistake.

What followed was a wave of missed calls, more than ten of them, before the delivery man finally sent a message asking to retrieve the package. She told him to come at once.

When he arrived to collect the phone, he told her the full picture: his employer had withheld his salary because of the missing item. As a gesture of gratitude, he offered her ₦500, which she turned down.

Her message to others about receiving deliveries

After sharing the story online, the lady reflected on the experience and offered a word of caution to others. She noted that the situation could happen to anyone and encouraged people to pay close attention when collecting deliveries, checking their items carefully against what they actually ordered.
