This comes amid the fuel scarcity saga in Nigeria. Nigerians have been battling with fuel scarcity since February.

Lagos, Abuja, and major cities across the country were hit by fuel scarcity following the recent importation of adulterated Premium Motor Spirit (PMS), popularly known as petrol.

This was followed by a public outcry over the situation which left many car engines damaged.
