My brother bought an infinix hot 7 at slot in VI Lagos sometimes in July this year. He traveled to his village, Igboho in Oyo state where he was picked up by police undercover agents (SIB) for phone theft.
His offence was that the phone he bought from slot in Lagos was stolen at a church in Jos.
We have to request that some one bring the phone box and receipt from Lagos to igboho, after which the SIB release him to us that they have seen evidence that he bought the phone.
My fear now is that they can pick him up again if they track same IMEI again. What should we do.

I contacted slot and they said he should visit the store where the phone was purchased. But can two phones have same IMEI?

I remembered one time they use to change phone IMEI. Don't know of now or is possible that there was a mistake from the info given to the police. It is also possible with low branded phones like infinix, Tecno and their families

Possible...afterall some people get two sex organs.

Not possible for two phones to have same IMEI, even a 2sim phone has two different IMEI for the two Sim slots

Tweaking of IMEI no is what you refer to but the original IMEI should be on the phone which mean that if he had tweak his own IMEI they won't see the IMEI on his phone.
