Angry Nigerians Point Fingers At NIPOST For Parcel Theft
Nigerians are leveling accusations against NIPOST workers, alleging systematic theft of parcels originating from the US, UK, and other foreign countries.
According to aggrieved victims, valuable items such as iPhone 15s and gold jewelry sent to NIPOST offices in Abuja, Lagos, and Ibadan have gone missing, despite tracking showing their arrival at these facilities.
Outraged by what they perceive as a pattern of dishonesty, Nigerians have taken to social media, including X (formerly Twitter), to voice their grievances and cast suspicion on NIPOST employees for pilfering expensive packages intended for delivery.
An X user @emmachidii stated, “Nipost I paid for an urgent delivery(EMS express delivery), contract proposal with a definite time, from Port Harcourt to Lagos, made payment, both stamp duty, the mumu people no deliver the documents. I weak, na so the deadline passed.
Another user @ghibee_NG stated, “A package was delivered to NIPOST Ibadan …it arrived and I didn’t get a call or nothing for 3wks .. after another few weeks of back and forth ..i got the package but they legit opened the package and took a pack of candy and chocolate and shared amongst themselves.
Also @Maleekoyibo wrote, “If your mother works at NIPOST AREA 1, Just know she’s a Thief. A client sent back a gold jewelry from the US, using Nipost.
“It arrived Abuja and no one called, after about 2 weeks, we went to Nipost Area 1, this woman denied receiving our package & asked us to go to Nipost Area 10, Area 10 couldn’t find it & they sent us back to the woman.
“After many back and forth a director from the headquarters had to give us a note, to hand to the woman. Immediately she read the note, she opened her Drawer and gave us the package, it was in her drawer all these while. Thieves, most staffs at NIPOST are thieves”.
Additionally @dangbanamanager said “A watch was sent from the USA to Nigeria via USPS and arrived in Lagos, but someone in Nipost swapped it with a Lagos Island watch. I’m so tired of this.
