When My Ten-Year Generator Repairer Stole My Fuel

1 / 2

Fuel prices spiked after a Gulf conflict shut the Strait of Hormuz. Our generators run almost nonstop. I spent ₦50,000 on fuel that would normally last a month. When my generator broke, I called our long-time technician. I watched him work from inside, trusting he’d call me before refueling. Instead, he filled the tank himself, grabbed an engine oil bottle and left. I only noticed when one oil bottle vanished and the fuel keg felt much lighter. That’s when I realized he’d stolen our fuel. I was livid. He betrayed a decade of trust for a few liters of petrol.
