With nine days to Christmas, heavy queues surfaced at various petrol stations in Benin City, the Edo State capital yesterday as fear grips residents of the city of another shortage of petroleum products in the state.
The situation was made worse as hordes of vehicles filed at the mega station of the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) located on Sapele Road as early as 6.15am yesterday to the bewilderment of many that the essential product was unavailable again.
The station was under lock and key to motorists as officials of the stations refused comment on the situation. It was gathered that petroleum products were being awaited from the Benin Depot of NNPC on Ikpoba Hill along the busy Benin-Onitsha Expressway
