He said he was driving towards the Gbagada area of the state when his car got submerged by the flood. He stated that he had to move out of his car when rain was getting serious and that he witnessed the flood waves moving his vehicle.
The distraught lawyer shared videos he recorded stated that the street urchins who were present saw the opportunity to make quick money as they charged him N20, 000 to push his car out of the flood while he spent another N95, 000 to tow the vehicle to his house.
He stated that his mechanic came to access the damage and told him that the car engine would cost about N1.8 million to N2.5 million to change.
‘’How Lagos Flood finished my car and knocked the engine completely. Watch the slides to the end. This happened at Gbagada road linking the 3rd Mainland bridge opposite Burger King. The flood was so much that when I came down from the Car, the water was almost by my neck. I was literally swimming to cross the road and falling into different deep gutters because the floor covered the gutters. I was lucky not to get drowned but got injured in the process. To push the car out of the flood, the Agberos collected N20,000 from me despite all the begging. They showed Zero Sympathy and said its the only way they can see money to eat, and their prayers have been answered. The towing vehicles made serious money towing numerous cars. I spent N95,000 to tow the car back home and this is with serious begging and haggling. Mechanic checked the car and confirmed that the Engine has Knocked. I Inquired about a new Tokunbo Engine and I was told between N1.8million to N2.5million. I am in tears!!! Which kin wahala be this”
