I doubt if the op would have paid that amount if he were to be in town. It could have happened to anyone due to apprehension and concern on how to get away from there as soon as possible. 1 Like |

Ayowumie: @ op, sorry for your loss.Yes ooo my brother. It once happened to me 6 years ago and thank God i was well informed because if not,i would have been a victim. Those useless guys will follow you and point at the tyre that there's something wrong and if you slow down,they'll pour the black oil. But in my own case,i increased the speed and drove another 45mins until i got to a filling station where i parked and confirmed that nothing was wrong with the car. 3 Likes |

What is the solution for the problem now? I hope something is done to get rid of them. Nigerians just fold hands and watch bad things happen. It is time to report them to the police or have them monitored, arrested and jailed for fraudulent activity. 3 Likes |

Very old trick.... Now that you are in Lagos...it can be worse, be careful of anyone pointing to anything to you in your car. |

Op, I had similar experience within that same area sometime ago while embarking on a trip, though I didn't give in. They were with their moving Towing vehicle ,shouting at the top of their voice and pointing at my rear tyres. Initially, I slowed down a bit, but thank God that my cousin I was travelling with cautioned me not to stop. And you know what, I began firing my engine like an aeroplane that is about to take off. Interstate travellers within such axis should be aware. 1 Like |

cyril10: I was on leave in mid August 2014 when I decided to travel to Lagos with my family. Before the leave started, I gave my car to my mechanic to service and to make sure everything is in order before we embark on the journey since I wouldn't want to put my little kids in jeopardy .This one wey you go drop something close to my 2 months salary. This is one advantage of logging on to Nairaland on a daily basis. One or two people have shared this experience on this forum in the past. You could have learnt from their mistakes. #NairalandForLife 4 Likes |

sweettease: Hmmmmm... Even at that you need to learn how to bargain though... How the hell did you spend 113k for something that was not actually faulty when you even know the actual cost?Ignorant comments like this are so annoying...I just wanna ....*aaaaarrrrggggghhhhh*!!! Firstly I fnk u must be Ibo...a guy had an experience dis teRrible and spent useful time sharing for all to learn and the only thing that caught ur attention is the PRICE?! Gosh!!! Secondly, u are quite inconsiderate to his plight at the time! Try travelling inter-state via a road network like the one described and the car develops a fault with ur kids at the back! You will pay ur last penny to get out of that situation! If however, 'bargaining' becomes ur priority at that time, then u gatto understand ma'am....u don't deserve those children! Well...like they say...''Pesin wey no go, no know"! |

Zehner: Eya sorry about your experience Op but this is actually a well known trick along that axis and it's been going on for years now. Assuming someone has announced this trick before now the OP mayn't have fallen for the scam. We should learn to enlighten people on tricks of these scammers. Say the word and save a life 1 Like |

You sef be money bag to have spent a whopping 113k on assumption you didn't even feel on the steering It is advisable to have good idea about car mechanism so you will not pay dearly for ignorance. |

Sorry about the loss of your hard-earned money to those crooks. I also fell victim to their hand last year November when I was travelling to PH in my Honda EOD. Those guys actually know that one of the weakest points of some of the EODs is shaft so I got scarred when they pointed at my tire. I parked and they showed me oil on my wheels. I lost 100k to them only to realise later dat I had been duped. I have passed that way about twice since then and I still observed those guys are into such full time. Please guys, beware! 1 Like |
