A Nigerian man has threatened to call the police after accusing a gas station of selling him air worth ₦35,000 instead of fuel.
This was disclosed in a post that went viral on the well-known social media site X (formerly Twitter).
As the fuel attendant is being recorded, a man can be heard talking in the background of the video.
He claims that despite spending ₦35,000, the attendant sold him air rather than fuel because his fuel gauge stayed unchanged.
00.
He confronted the attendant, saying, “You said you sold ₦35,000 worth of fuel for me, but my gauge hasn’t moved. How did you do that? Are you pumping air into my car?”
The man then demanded the presence of the station manager, adding, “We’re going to the police station today. You must explain this racket you’re running here. If I didn’t know better, would you have tried to deceive me this morning?”
Many people quickly shared their opinions in the comment section of the post, which quickly gained popularity.
See some reactions below:
@01Sixgod: “I swear to God this also happened to me last week @ AP fuel station close to Agege bridge Omo I change it for them.”
@SisoConstructi1: “Almost all filling stations do it…the level of corruption in this country is alarming.”
@edoyakulo: “They do, don’t know how because the meter will be reading. I experienced it years ago at the filling station at Area 11 close to FHQ. Fill up tank and it even spilled then got home few minutes after to fuel gauge at quarter full.”
@leumas_mahni_og: “I’ve explained this to people many times. There’s no way a nozzle will dispense air; it only happens if there’s no fuel in the tank at the fuel station. If your fuel isn’t complete, it could be because the liter might be tampered with, or your fuel gauge might be faulty.”
@Olalereafeez12: “Similar things happen to me at bovas station I no fit cry cus I no notice in time.”
@Jahswill_7: “It has happened to me before, same AP bt the one by holy trinity. I started making troubles, when they noticed I wasn’t ready to let go, one of the attendants opted to balance me 2k cash or equivalent of fuel. This was in 2019.”
@Seereal001: “Lemme guess… this should be the AP opposite Transcorp Hilton. By now, every Abuja resident should avoid that fueling station. From the manager to the pump attendants, they collude. Highway robbers!”
@anaga_banner: “I saw 945 in AP along Aba road in Porthacourt and decided to go and buy,after buying 40k fuel and seeing it didn’t take me to my destination,I respected myself and stopped buying cos it was cheap.”
