A man yet to be identified broke down in tears after being unable to pay a twenty-thousand naira (₦20,000) fine imposed by Vehicle Inspection Officers in Abuja.
In a video seen by ELANZA News, the visibly distraught man expressed his despair over the financial burden, revealing his family’s dire situation.
“My family hasn’t eaten since morning,” he sobbed, rubbing his head in frustration. He added, “My phone is off, and I can’t call them,” highlighting his inability to seek help.
The depth of his despair was evident as he repeatedly said, “I can’t call them, see, my phone is off,” in Pidgin English.
The emotional scene unfolded with voices, particularly a woman’s, offering comfort and urging him to calm down in the background.
This incident underscores the pressing economic challenges faced by many people. It highlights the urgent need for community support systems and economic policies to alleviate such hardships.
