Daily, numerous quacks throw open their shops from where they defraud unsuspecting members of the public, who wonder their way in search of solutions to their problematic mobile phones.

Posturing as certified personnel, most of these so-called phone repairers are barely skilled as far as phone repairs is concerned, having never been formally trained in the profession or certified by any competent body. But how they still continue to fleece innocent members of the public of their hard-earned money year-in, year-out, through their trial and error approach, still remains a big mystery.

Ibe also added that once untrained hands fiddle with some of the smartphones in circulation, some applications in them begin to malfunction thereby affecting other aspects like the camera, the screen function, internal memory, speaker, key pad and other parts. He noted that Nigerians, especially those who reside in rural areas where ICT knowledge is very low were prone to buying these cloned products.

She therefore cautioned mobile phone owners whose devices are malfunctioning against subscribing to the services of roadside repairers, but to rather visit dealers’ workshops, or authorised service stations to get their issues sorted out. Obviously not bothered about how much Nigerians are losing from buying or repairing their faulty mobile handsets, Ajire noted that it is the responsibility of every buyer to verify the state of the used phone he/she is purchasing, and not depend on what he/she is being told by the seller.
