A Lagos resident has recounted how she was allegedly assaulted by a suspected tout popularly called agbero along the Ikate axis of the Lekki-Epe corridor, after the tout blocked her car window and demanded money from her.
The woman, in a video shared by X user, #Somto Okonkwo, on Sunday, said the incident occurred as she was driving past a group of touts stationed along the road.
“This is how I got back home. When I was coming back, all these guys that beg on the road, my car window was down, so one of them came; the moment he came, before I could wind up, this guy was already holding the glass, that I could not wind up,” she said.
She said the man demanded money from her, and when she attempted to check for cash to give him, she discovered she had none and the situation escalated into a confrontation.
