ENUGU, Nigeria (VOICE OF NAIJA)- A woman has reportedly bitten the breast of another woman during a feud at a petrol station in Warri, Delta State.
The women were reportedly fighting over positions in the fuel queue when the incident occurred.
Daily Post reports that both women are said to be ‘black market’ fuel dealers in Warri, struggling for the product to sell.
It took the intervention of other customers at the fueling station to separate the women who were engaged in a fisticuff.
Even after the fight had been separated, one of the women who was bitten on the breast was left bleeding profusely.
Meanwhile, it was gathered that most vendors in Warri and environ were still selling the product at N500 per litre.
Also, transportation has increased with many of the transporters charging outrageous amounts with a demand that they are paid with new naira notes to avoid the 31 January deadline by the Central Bank of Nigeria, (CBN).
At the time of this report, virtually all roads were empty with little or no vehicles plying them due to the hike in petrol, Daily Post reports.
A customer simply identified as Ogochukwu told Daily Post that the situation is really tough and is telling on citizens.
He called on President Muhammadu Buhari’s APC-led Federal Government of Nigeria to urgently do all it can to reduce the cost of petrol and save the people stress.
Another customer simply identified as Akpevwe, said marketers were hoarding the products.
Akpevwe alleged that politicians had a hand in the current hike in petrol, adding that many people have discovered their talents as they now resort to trekking long distances where their money could take them.
He, therefore, called on the government to prevail on the petroleum marketers to make the product available at the stipulated one hundred and sixty naira pump price for citizens before the 2023 election.
