An unfortunate incident was caught on camera in the Oko Oba, Agege area of Lagos State as a commercial motorcycle rider (popularly called Okada) was swept away by flood after he refused to let go of his bike and save himself.
The video shows the man riding a bike with two passengers behind him as he tries to drive through the flooded street.
The first passenger then decides to save himself by jumping off the bike as it gradually gets submerged in the water. Shortly after, the second passenger fell from the bike into the water but he got up. However, the Okada rider continued riding through the flooded street before the flood current got the better of him and his motorcycle and swept them away.
As the water carried the man away, he refused to let go of his bike to save himself. Onlookers were heard screaming for the man to leave the bike.
