An angry Nigerian man took to social media to call out Total petrol station in the Idi-Iroko area of Ikorodu, Lagos, for allegedly charging customers between N1,000 and N2,500 before attending to them amidst the biting fuel scarcity.
In the video shared on TikTok, the man slammed the petrol station for charging extra fees before dispensing premium motor spirit (PMS) to desperate customers.

According to him, the fuel attendants charge N1,000 for a 5-litre jerrycan and N2,500 for a 25-litre jerrycan.
The now-viral video shows a passerby supporting the man as they both decried the exploitation.
