A Nigerian man, name, Abilomu Adedoyin has been arrested for fleeing a filling station without paying for fuel worth fifty-eight thousand, five hundred and forty-eight naira (₦58,548.40) in Ado Ekiti state.
After filling up, he drove away without settling the bill, prompting the petrol attendant to chase after him.
The incident gained widespread attention on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), which ultimately led to his capture by the police.
Further investigation into the incident has revealed another interesting detail.
The vehicle used by Adedoyin to flee the filling station was purchased by him in 2023.
However, it was discovered that the vehicle’s plate number was still registered under the name of the previous owner, suggesting that Adedoyin had not properly transferred ownership of the vehicle.
This raises additional questions about Adedoyin’s actions and whether he was attempting to conceal his identity or evade accountability.

Another fuel station has also identified the same man, confirming that he had done the same thing there.”
