Man spotted buying fuel with Geepee tank

Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that a customer was spotted buying fuel with a large tank at a filling station.

Many people who saw the video said it is inhumane that one person will be allowed to buy fuel with such a big container. They said this may deny others the opportunity to have access to the product.

As fuel scarcity bites harder in Nigeria, buying the product in big tanks according to many, is a way of stocking up one's reserves.
