Apostle Isaac Anderson’s phone whisked
Apostle Anderson grabbed attention for all the wrong reasons after his expensive iPhone 16 Pro Max was whisked from his hands on the streets of London.
It all happened while he was walking by the roadside, leading prayers in a Facebook Live Session with his church members on September 23, 2025.
Moments before the unfortunate incident, the man of God was seen in an energetic mood, prophesying and making declarations to his members.
It was at that point that two men on a motorcycle, wearing balaclavas, quickly rode by, whisked the iPhone 16 Pro Max from the apostle, and sped off.
At the time of writing this report, the video had racked up over 2,000 likes and 20 comments.
