Commenting, a businessman, Mr Mayowa Oluyinka, said that the situation became chaotic as most of the filling stations were not dispensing the product to motorists who were on queue.
“Some of the filling stations don’t have fuel while others are just hoarding the product till it becomes very expensive to buy,” Oluyinka said.
Another motorist, Mr Sanmi Olatunde, said he queued for about 30 minutes before he could get the fuel in the town.
