Nigerian influencer and actress Papaya Ex is searching for her missing iPhone and has put up a cash reward for its return.
The phone, said to be an iPhone 16 Pro Max in a pink case, was reportedly taken from the bag of her personal assistant during a film premiere event.
The device holds many of her contacts, work files and documents, making it very hard for her to do her job without it.
The influencer first reached out to the public through her social media account to ask for help finding the phone.
She mentioned that the device was left near the front table close to the stage at the Arinzo movie premiere and asked people who might have seen it to help return it.
Papaya Ex made it clear that she wants the phone back as it contains years of important information, not just pictures.
