Papaya Ex Pledges ₦700K Reward For Lost Phone

Nigerian influencer and actress Papaya Ex has launched a public appeal after her iPhone went missing, offering a substantial cash reward for its return. According to Ireporter Online, the device—a pink iPhone 16 Pro Max—was reportedly stolen from her personal assistant during an event.

Papaya Ex emphasized the importance of the phone, noting that it contains critical contacts, documents, and work projects. She described the incident on her social media, stating that the loss would be significant due to the valuable content stored on the device.

Further details revealed that the phone went missing at the Arinzo movie premiere, near the front table by the stage. The actress urged anyone who finds the phone not to tamper with it, highlighting that it holds documents dating back to 2015. She also provided a secure method for its return, either anonymously through social media or by leaving it at her mother’s shop in Lagos.

In a subsequent post, Papaya Ex increased the reward to ₦700,000, reiterating that the phone’s contents—rather than its resale value—are her primary concern. She warned the public against purchasing devices displaying her images and asked for assistance in spreading the message to aid in its recovery.
