Man who fled fuel station without paying ₦58,548.4 apprehended, shocking details emerge
A Nigerian man who fled a fuel station after purchasing fuel worth ₦58,548.4 without paying has been apprehended.
This shocking development follows a report that gained traction on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter).
Just days after the details were shared online, the suspect was captured by the police.
Further revelations from the post showed that the vehicle he used during the incident did not carry his personal details.
Instead, it still had the information of the seller who sold him the car.
The post also disclosed that this man had previously committed the same act at another filling station.
The post read: “THE CRIMINAL HAS BEEN APPREHENDED and is now in police custody! His name is ABILOMU ADEDOYIN.”
“NOTE: The vehicle was sold to him in 2023 (two years ago) with the plate number still registered to the previous owner.”
“Another fuel station has also identified the same man, confirming that he had done the same thing there.”
As the post circulated online, many concerned individuals took to the comment section to share their thoughts.
See some reactions below:
@AdekunleOderind: “Always remove your number plate from your car before selling if not new buyer can use your details to perpetrate evil. Glad that he is caught, let him pay for putting the fuel attendant in debts.”
@foluke_adegbola: “I like how fast they got him. I am sure that wasn’t his first time.”
@SimplyTEEWHY: “Thank God. He must have been thinking he can never be caught. He would have done it at so many different filling stations.”
@israelLinuz: “One thing I hate so much in Nigeria is covering a criminal’s face when caught….like how do u want the public to recognize him in future?”
@stevoolahlah: “Always remove your number plates whenever you’re selling your car.”
@prettycachy: “I am glad he has been nabbed. He should be jailed without parole.”
