Abilomu Adedoyin, a Nigerian man, has been arrested for fleeing a filling station without paying for fuel worth fifty-eight thousand, five hundred and forty-eight naira (₦58,548.40) in Ado Ekiti state.
After filling up, he drove away without settling the bill, prompting the petrol attendant to chase after him. The incident gained widespread attention on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), which ultimately led to his capture by the police.
Further investigation into the incident has revealed another interesting detail. The vehicle used by Adedoyin to flee the filling station was purchased by him in 2023.
However, it was discovered that the vehicle’s plate number was still registered under the name of the previous owner, suggesting that Adedoyin had not properly transferred ownership of the vehicle.
This raises additional questions about Adedoyin’s actions and whether he was attempting to conceal his identity or evade accountability.
In a new update the X User wrote: “THE CRIMINAL HAS BEEN APPREHENDED and is now in police custody! His name is ABILOMU ADEDOYIN….NOTE: The vehicle was sold to him in 2023 (two years ago) with the plate number still registered to the previous owner. Another fuel station has also identified the same man, confirming that he had done the same thing there.”

The old man that sold the fuel to him is in debt and has been in deep tears since the incident occurred (3rd of January 2025). We have the CCTV footage of the whole incident, pic.twitter.com/MpFu8rHG3C— beautiful pain🦌 (@Liltuffsb) January 5, 2025
