Lawyer rue his losses after his car got submerged in Lagos flood, to use N2.5million to replace the engine.

Already paid ₦20k to Agberos to push his car out of the flood, ₦95k to tow the vehicle back to his house.

A Lagos-based real estate lawyer is rueing his losses after his car got submerged in the massive flooding caused by the torrential rainfall on Tuesday September 23rd, which turned many areas and ordinary streets in Lagos into raging rivers.

While narrating his ugly experiences, the lawyer said he was forced to pay ₦20k to street urchins popularly known as Agberos before they could help push his car out of the flood while another ₦95k was spent on towing the vehicle back to his house.

For his car to get back on the road, he further explained that between ₦1.8 million to ₦2.5 million will be needed to buy a Tokunbo engine to fix the flooded car engine, excluding service charge.

“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 Instagram user with the handle ‘omonilelawyer’ wrote in a post.

“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 ₦20,000 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 ₦95,000 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 ₦1.8million to ₦2.5million. I am in tears!!! Which kin wahala be this? ? ?”
