It was also gathered that the only mega station in the town that was selling fuel at former pump price #86 per litre, in the morning has adjusted its price to N145.
Commuters who were on queues at different stations bitterly complained over the new development.
A black marketer who spoke on condition of anonymity said because of the uncertainty of what would be the outcome of the development, they were now storing the commodity.
It was also discovered that the new price of petrol has made the cost of goods and services to go up, which many people complained about.
