John Ikuwanusi, a Facebook user, has narrated how he paid for Petrol at Omemma Filling Station, Ogidi, Anambra State, on Friday but water was sold to him.

In a Facebook post, Ikuwanusi said he was stranded after spending a lot of money on fake petrol.

“We are stranded on the road because we used our N13,000 to buy water instead of fuel from a petrol station here in Ogidi,” he wrote.

In a video seen by FIJ, co-travelers with Ikuwanusi could be heard lamenting how they had filled the car’s fuel tank with the fake petrol.
