The thieves did not realise that the phone was still alive when one of them said: “Hey JP, he’s on TikTok. He’s on TikTok live, bro… No fam. How do I end it? It’s on Facebook.” His accomplice later shouted "Oh sh!t" while they covered their face.

Being quoted by the Daily Mail, Anderson narrated:

“All of the sudden, someone from behind on a bike just came and snatched my phone from my hands [an] iPhone 16 pro max. It’s not easy. All my information was on it”

He then warned other residents in London to be careful with their phones and other "important stuff", adding that robbers, thieves and burglars are everywhere in the popular UK city.

2xnmore condemned the action:

"Man was deep in the spirit. Meanwhile, the thief was deep in the streets. Nobody deserves to have their sermon turned into a true crime episode mid-Livestream."

Updateboyz reacted:

"This is the result of bad leaders. They failed to provide jobs for the people. So they do anything to survive. May the UK not happen to us."

Phoenix explained the moment:

"The bus driver tried to warn him, but he didn't pay attention. When walking around in London and you see those Sauron bikes, just hide your phone,"

Nana Ezze decried the action:

"After the declaration by Nkrumah, Ghana gained independence, but the apostle declared and his phone had freedom."

Ugochi Eze commented:

"This has been happening lately over there. The same thing happened to one of my bosses. She was chatting with a friend, and someone just snatched her phone."
