@Sayo_sleek_ @mobilnigeria @mobilnigeria @fccpcnigeria @Gidi_Traffic Please do something.
This is how our country isn't moving forward.
This is sheer wickedness absolutely inhuman.

[𝓜𝓻𝓼. 𝓞 @Sayo_sleek_]

@mobilnigeria I am extremely disappointed. Your fuel attendants at Mobil fuel station, Ahmadu Bello Way, Victoria Island, Lagos are fraudsters!

This is just the height of wickedness

I took a detour to buy fuel in my car at about 7:09am this morning on my way to work.

My fuel gauge was on half tank (Toyota Matrix) and 20 litres would do the magic to full tank.

I told the attendant to deduct N5,000 from my card, and wherever it stops..

[𝓜𝓻𝓼. 𝓞 @Sayo_sleek_]

...I would just collect the change.

He proceeded to deduct the money. So he told me the PoS was taking time to connect, but he would start selling so as not to delay me. I said okay.

Next thing, this guy walks to the back, discussing with his colleague...

[𝓜𝓻𝓼. 𝓞 @Sayo_sleek_]

I was watching him from the rear view mirror
I told him to bring my card back. He now walks back to me, and blocks my view from the dispensing machine. (All in the name of “I want to give you your receipt and card”)

I told him to move away from my view ..

[𝓜𝓻𝓼. 𝓞 @Sayo_sleek_]

Next thing I know, the thing reads N5,000 (and the N5,000 keeps blinking, not showing litres sold)

I asked him why it was not showing litres, he said “na 31 litres ma”

I said how do you know, given that you were backing the dispensing machine also?

[𝓜𝓻𝓼. 𝓞 @Sayo_sleek_]

He just kept shouting 31 litres.

I collected my card and left.
Till I got to Adeyemo Alakija, my fuel tank still didn’t hit full. A whole 31 litres!!! From half tank

Then I went back to the fuel station and demanded he recalls the transaction

[𝓜𝓻𝓼. 𝓞 @Sayo_sleek_]

Just see number of litres.
He told me the machine cannot recall.
I asked to see the manager, he said the manager wasn’t around.
As I was arguing with him, I heard another customer shouting within the premises, saying they cheated the woman in front of him

[𝓜𝓻𝓼. 𝓞 @Sayo_sleek_]

The woman didn’t notice. But the man at the back saw what they did and raised the alarm.

The fuel attendants in the station teamed up and forced the man and the woman in question to leave the station.
Then I told them I was going to take the matter further

[𝓜𝓻𝓼. 𝓞 @Sayo_sleek_]

The guy that sold to me now said I should open my tank for him to fill it up.
I asked which account he would write that in, given that he insisted he sold N5,000 the first time.
Is this how they cheat the organisation by selling more to customers at no cost?

[𝓜𝓻𝓼. 𝓞 @Sayo_sleek_]

He didn’t answer. Just mumbled some rubbish.

His colleague just kept shouting.
Of all times to cheat people, not now when people are complaining about fuel price hike.

It’s just inhuman, to defraud people, especially at a time like this.

[𝓜𝓻𝓼. 𝓞 @Sayo_sleek_]

@mobilnigeria @fccpcnigeria please look into this matter.

Your fuel attendants can’t keep defrauding people and go unpunished!

It is all shades of wrong!

[𝓜𝓻𝓼. 𝓞 @Sayo_sleek_]

@lekan114 @mobilnigeria @fccpcnigeria Honestly! We have been keeping quiet for too long, but enough of that now!

It must stop!

[𝓜𝓻𝓼. 𝓞 @Sayo_sleek_]

Guys please help retweet this until something is done.

@mobilnigeria’s fuel attendants at Ahmadu Bello way, V.I are defrauding people and it’s is not their first time.

The country is hard enough already
#EndSARS
@fccpcnigeria Please escalate this matter.

[𝓜𝓻𝓼. 𝓞 @Sayo_sleek_]

While people are busy tweeting #EndSARS #EndPoliceBrutality #BBNaija @mobilnigeria ‘s fuel attendants are busy defrauding people in these harsh times.

@fccpcnigeria Please look into this matter.
