Police in Lilongwe have apprehended a well-known TikTok content creator, Innocent Sengimana, also known as "iPhone Daddy." The 23-year-old suspect was taken into custody at the Airwing location in the city.
His TikTok account, under the name 'innocentjumajayi,' allegedly duped people out of K5 million by promising to supply them with iPhone 13 gadgets.
The suspect collected upfront payments from his TikTok followers, but failed to deliver the promised iPhones. Additionally, he reportedly took two iPhones valued at K3.5 million from a client to sell on their behalf but disappeared with the proceeds.
Furthermore, he misused cars rented for his social media activities, failing to pay the fees and using the vehicles as collateral for debts.
On the day of his arrest, the suspect had to be rescued by police from angry community members who pursued him after he escaped. He is expected to face theft charges in court soon. Notably, Innocent Sengimana is a Rwandese national of Malawian descent.
