In other news, A Nigerian individual has accused a petrol station of providing him with air valued at ₦35,000 instead of actual fuel, and he has pledged to involve law enforcement authorities.

This allegation was brought to light through a post that has been widely shared on the social media platform X (formerly known as Twitter). In a video, a man can be heard speaking while recording the fuel attendant.

He asserts that the attendant sold him air rather than fuel, as his fuel gauge showed no change despite the ₦35,000 expenditure.

He confronted the attendant, stating, “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?”

The man then insisted on the presence of the station manager, adding, “We are going to the police station today. You must clarify this scheme you are operating here. If I had been less informed, would you have attempted to deceive me this morning?”

The post rapidly gained popularity, with numerous users sharing their opinions in the comments section.
