Anxiety in Lagos as petrol queues resurface

Queues for petrol have resurfaced in Lagos as motorists throng filling stations to fill up their tanks.

The new development is coming days after scarcity surfaced in Ibadan, Oyo state capital.

In February, Nigeria experienced petrol scarcity — lasting for over one month — caused by the recall of off-spec petrol in circulation.

On Monday, queues were noticed in some filling stations visited by newsmen, resulting in panic buying motorists.

At some filling stations in Ikorodu, sales of the commodity were restricted to two or three pumps even as other filling stations shut down services.
