So these Lagos phone thieves who didn't know that their recent victim was one step ahead of them, have been nabbed with technology.

Instagram user, Lordesszzetta, who shared photos of the thieves, revealed that the suspects who took photos with the stolen phone didn't know her phone and photos were backed up on gmail.

Here's what she wrote;

"PLEASE READ: Hi everyone. My phone was stolen yesterday 12/08/2017 somewhere around my area at Amuwo Odofin. The guys who stole it turned off the phone after a while, would switch it on at times, answer my friends' calls but would stay mute. However, as fate would have it, they were stupid enough to snap with the phone and the picture was backed up on my gmail without them knowing.
Fast forward to today 13/08/2017, I got a new phone and logged into my Google account to back up my saved info/ pictures and Lo and behold, their picture was restored along with mine!
So this is the picture of the thieves who stole my phone. Please do share until they are caught. Thanks.
ZZETTA."
