The man should have just stopped and given them something the moment they grabbed his steering wheel. I'm not supporting what the touts did to him. I'm seriously against them. But when you're in a lawlessness country like Nigeria where touts would be threatening people's lives and police would be at the next junction extorting from those who survived the touts, you'd have to apply wisdom.

He was in the car with his wife and kid(s) how much was the money they were demanding for that he had to gamble with his family?

I remember one time I dropped a friend off at Anthony under bridge, he wanted to climb the hill to access the express so I moved in to drop him off. As he came down and left, one rugged tout started running towards me, I wanted to zoom off then I noticed he carried a very big stone, I just stopped and gave him N500 yes you heard me right. Five hundred naira which he collected and walked away. Imagine if I had stubbornly tried to zoom off and he had shattered my windshield, it would have cost me up to 200k to replace it. But I applied wisdom and paid just 500 and left peacefully.

We should learn how to apply wisdom. Everything shouldn't be about aggression cos these touts have nothing to lose. I've seen them pull down a conductor from a moving bus. They're ready to fight and die. So dragging with them isn't a wise option.

May their souls rest in peace.

Hmmm.... Wike is the correct man to tackle the touts. It's sad that these touts are allowed to grow in number and get out of control.

Kennitrust:

This is what tinubu started in Lagos and now it is nationwide.

Tinubu, the founder of agbro in Nigeria and the father of agbro

Stomoney:
Agberos has now been transferred to Abuja
Thanks to Mr President

ogmask:
Ameachi flushed touts out if of rivers but wike brought them back with full govt backing. They do exactly the same thing here in phc. It's a wike thing my brother. Fubara removed them after they killed a pregnant woman while dragging steering with a driver. But them don return with full force under Wike/Ibas

Desazubu:
Owomida things. Made in Bourdillion Lagos and exported to Abuja. If you know you know.

OCHKESTINE:
You guys won't believe Agberos now order bolt ride to areas where Cars are not allowed to park, only to pretend to be passenger, immediately they enter you bolt ride, they wrestle the steering and gear with you.

Bolt driver newbies fall for that Wuse market bolt order prank.

Bolt drivers should ensure to pick and drop their passengers only inside the market NOT at the exit not entrance.

And if you are caught, the fine is 25k,
To make it easier for the driver, go to the touts office just after the Wuse market bridge and register to pick and drop.

And if u want to hustle along passengers even on weekends, make sure u always buy the "National" ticket, but the days of the week requires you to get 3 tickets for ₦200 each - ₦600.

Judolisco:
they got me 2 yrs ago, right in front of Wuse market... It was suppose to be my last trip for d day..... I gave them all I made that day 15k...although d guys I went to pick gavee 10k,even though d trip was not up to 5k....d next time they entered my vehicle, still around that Wuse, I wanted to drop some passengers who happened to be foreigners.... D woman thought she was about to be kidnapped.... Na dat day I go their office go collect their useless papers..... With d way I abused them dat day, I'm sure they'll go back home to have a rethink about their life.... Na one of d reasons I stopped bolt bdat

blackmantis:
These are likely not pick and drop agbero. They are those that look into your car to see if you are carrying any thing big then they arrest you saying you are using your private car for commercial purpose. And then impose a hefty fine on you. They stand at strategic points like Arab traffic light, Area 1 etc.

Sabadon:
you see theres something inherently wrong with the Nigerian system,

when Buhari was on seat- herdsmen went on carnage with impunity

now Bola is there and touts re everywhere. imagine the very once serene Abuja turned to owomida enclave

AllBlack:
Have you fallen victim to these particular set of guys before? Ask anyone that drives IN ABUJA for first hand experience because this is not the regular ₦500 matter. They will make you cry and you might end up paying up to ₦50K if you are so unlucky because these ones are not there to collect ₦500, their sole mission is to drag you to their CHAIRMAN OFFICE and make you pay for TAXI REGISTRATION when you are not a cabbie so that they can get settled by their oga.

are they on uniform or identifiable? No. They just act like hyenas and jump in from your window to attack. While one is trying to grab your keys, the other are trying to steal your phones and open your door from the other side in a flash. If you drive a car, you will understand that the shock and impulse that will kick in and you will not blame that man.

₦500? Just ask other people sha.

Teejay13:
What do you mean by he should have applied wisdom. Do you know how it feels when you’re been attacked for committing no offense. I pray you do not fall victim of those agbero boys. Maybe by then you will understand why the man needed to fight by all means to defend his right. Is just so sad that he had to die trying to defend his right in a lawless country like Nigeria. May their soul rest in peace 🙏

There is absolutely nothing to say. These so called AMAC boys are stationed at every junction and intersection to ensure every citizen pays for transporting goods, period.

They started out many years ago checking to ensure commercially registered vehicles were duly licensed by them including things like mobile adverts, etc

Today they have extended their mandates to profile certain models of vehicles which they deem commercial and have even made it a law that private vehicles cannot transport articles of any kind.

So if I go to borrow my friends lawnmower on the other side of town to groom my garden I am breaking some financial law by transporting it in my car or truck.

That is what local government administration in the Federal Capital has been reduced to. The very face of grassroots governance.
