Her car broke down soon after she left the station.\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">Oluwabiyi shared her story in a video released on Wednesday by the Lagos State Consumer Protection Agency (LASCOPA), where she disclosed that she had noticed a problem when her car stopped about 10 minutes after leaving the filling station.<!-- Either there are no banners, they are disabled or none qualified for this location! -->\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">She said she called a mechanic, who checked the car and found water in the tank instead of petrol.\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">She reported the issue to LASCOPA that same day and provided pictures, videos, and other evidence.<!-- Either there are no banners, they are disabled or none qualified for this location! -->\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">\u201cI bought fuel from a filling station and unfortunately, they fueled my tank with just water. There was no fuel at all in what was put in my tank,\u201d Oluwabiyi said.\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">She said that after the incident, LASCOPA told her to get an estimate for the repair costs. Then, the agency invited both sides to a mediation session.<!-- Either there are no banners, they are disabled or none qualified for this location! -->\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">She said the filling station was found responsible for the incident and had to pay for her car repairs and extra damages.\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">\u201cThey were made to pay for fixing my car and for extra damages.<!-- Either there are no banners, they are disabled or none qualified for this location! -->\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">This was all thanks to LASCOPA. My car was fixed and restored to how it was before the incident,\u201d she said.\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">Oluwabiyi described LASCOPA as one of the \u201chidden gems\u201d provided by the Lagos State Government to protect consumers and resolve disputes outside the conventional court system.<!-- Either there are no banners, they are disabled or none qualified for this location! -->\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">She said the agency\u2019s intervention demonstrated the importance of alternative dispute resolution in resolving consumer complaints promptly while helping to reduce the burden on the courts.\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">\u201cIf you have any disputes, I strongly recommend, or you have any complaints, I strongly recommend that you report it to the Lagos State Consumer Protection Agency, which will ensure that the issues are dealt with and resolved promptly,\u201d she said.<!-- Either there are no banners, they are disabled or none qualified for this location! --><br \/>\n<!-- Either there are no banners, they are disabled or none qualified for this location! -->                                <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An unusual incident happened in Lagos when a filling station reportedly put water instead of petrol into the car of a resident, Oluwaseyi Oluwabiyi.
