Nigerian singer based in the US, Speed Darlington has taken to social media to lament after his car was looted by unknown persons after it arrived at Lagos port from the States.
He took to Instagram to share with his fans that his car arrived on July 20 before the Sallah celebration of the year and made a payment of N550,000 ($1200) to move his car from the US to Nigeria.
Thankfully, he received his car but unfortunately for him, all the tools he had kept inside the car in the US had been stolen and other parts of the car were also vandalized. He revealed that the officials at the port said that his car refused to start so they moved it around with a forklift.
He lamented about the failure of the agencies to upload their regulations after paying such a huge amount and yet the items he had toiled to get for years gets whisked away in the recent process;
“Look at what they did to my car. This is not the car that I left in the US. Nigeria is full of hate. All this was not there when I dropped this car off. Five hundred fifty thousand naira, I’m not rich but in the middle-class,” he said.
“Look at what they did to my car after paying $1200. How much does a man have to pay for his properties to be taken care of? So my car didn’t start and you decided to use a forklift to push my car, really? After all that fees.
“Look at my car trunk, it’s empty, they took everything including all my tools worth over $500. Two fuel pumps, speaker, and others.
“My car landed on July 20 and the next day was Sallah. Just two days holiday and they did this to me. I have all types of personal tools in the car…speaker, amplifier, inverter.
“It’s so hard to make it in Nigeria. They took everything from the inside and outside. The agent that I contracted was a useless one, I’ll never hire him again.
“After paying N550,000 this man came back to ask me for another N5,000. I don’t know what they told you guys but I’m not rich. This cannot happen in the US after paying $1,200.
“Nigerian Customs Service (NCS) and ship offloaders don’t have a battery to charge someone’s car even after I paid N550,000. When a car is parked for a month or plus, there’s a chance it’ll not start so my mine is not the first.”
He went on to curse those responsible for the looting of his car, saying they will “suffer till death”.
“You that stole my years of accumulation will never make in life. As you move around with my looted items, you’ll be knocked down by a vehicle. Such a person will manage till his last days on earth. You’ll suffer till death,” he added.
