Journalist Okatakyie Afrifa-Mensah has exposed what appears to be a fuel pump tampering scheme at a GOIL filling station in Atimpoku, Eastern Region, accusing attendants of shortchanging customers by dispensing far less fuel than they pay for.

According to Okatakyie, the station's attendants have manipulated the fuel pumps to give customers significantly less fuel than what is shown on the dispenser.

To demonstrate this, he asked an attendant to pump 10 litres of fuel into a calibrated container.

After examining the container, Okatakyie pointed out that the fuel level was much lower than what 10 litres should be.

“If you buy 10 litres of fuel, this is where it should get to. But look at where the 10-litre mark on the board reached—it’s theft on a massive scale," he claimed.

He further added, "This isn’t even 5 litres. If you buy fuel worth GH¢1,000, they’re actually giving you less than GH¢500 worth of fuel."
