Bradley Marongo recently shared the unfortunate news that a thief had stolen his iPhone 14 Pro Max while he was in Nairobi’s Central Business District (CBD). His manager, Director Trevor, took to social media in an attempt to recover the device, offering a KSh 50,000 reward to anyone who would return the phone. He emphasized the urgency of retrieving the phone, explaining that it contained crucial documents that Marongo needed immediately.
The theft occurred while Marongo was in the CBD, a place where he is frequently seen hanging out, especially around matatus and interacting with local people. Although the exact details of how the phone was taken were not provided, Trevor made it clear that the stolen device held valuable and sensitive content. This, combined with Marongo’s personal attachment to the documents on the phone, led to the manager’s offer of a cash reward for its safe return.
Director Trevor’s message to the thief was straightforward: he promised to pay KSh 50,000 in exchange for the phone. He addressed the thief directly, urging them to return the iPhone 14 Pro Max and offered the reward as an incentive. The post quickly gained attention from social media users, many of whom shared their thoughts and reactions to the situation.
One commenter humorously suggested that the phone might not have been stolen but could have simply been lost, implying that it might have slipped out of Marongo’s pocket without anyone intentionally taking it. Another user questioned the usefulness of the phone’s documents, asking why the data couldn’t be recovered from the cloud since it was likely backed up there, especially considering the phone’s high value. Others joked about the thief’s motives and their potential lack of interest in social media, making light of the idea that the thief would ever see the reward offer.
Despite the varied reactions, the post gained significant attention, and many were intrigued by the promise of cash for the phone’s return. Some people were skeptical, however, and wondered whether the thief would actually take the reward seriously, given the nature of most thieves and their lack of social media engagement.
In addition to this incident, Director Trevor had recently been in the public eye for defending his former partner, Mungai Eve, against serious allegations. Eve’s current partner had claimed that his life was in danger, suggesting that if anything were to happen to him, she should be questioned. Trevor, who had previously accused Eve of physically attacking him, retracted his statements, explaining that he had been hurt at the time and acted out of frustration. He spoke highly of Eve, stating that she was a hardworking influencer and a successful brand, and he applauded her for enjoying the fruits of her labor. His defense of Eve despite their past differences was seen by many as a gesture of maturity and respect, especially as he put aside any personal grievances for her protection.
While the iPhone theft remains unresolved, it’s clear that Director Trevor’s response has sparked interest and debate online, highlighting both the emotional weight of losing a valuable device and the complexities of public relationships.
