Black marketers sell fuel for N2000 as fuel scarcity bites in Sokoto

As fuel scarcity bites hard in some parts of the country, some black marketers are now selling a litre of petrol between N2,000 and N2,500 across the Sokoto metropolis.

Some residents who spoke to Channels Television called on the government to intervene to bring the situation under control so it doesn’t degenerate.

They said the situation has started affecting business activities and making life difficult for people as the black market price of N2,500 per litre is becoming scarce and this is bringing business and other activities to a standstill in the metropolis.
