Scarcity of fuel has hit Delta State, first noticed on Monday in places like Asaba, Agbor, and Umunede.
The situation worsened on Tuesday as news of a price increase spread.
Most fuel filling stations in parts of Asaba and its environs witnessed long queues of vehicles as independent petroleum marketers increased pump prices to between N1,200 and N1,400 per litre.
Many stations locked their gates, while those still dispensing fuel sold at the new prices, resulting in long queues.
Some filling stations that sold fuel at N1,050 and N1,100 over the weekend have adjusted their prices to the current levels.
Rain Oil stations along Okpanam Road, the Expressway, and other outlets in Asaba, Ogwashi Uku, and within the state capital territory are dispensing fuel at N1,250 to N1,300 per litre.
Reports from Agbor indicated that some filling stations, including North West in Asaba, were selling at N1,250 per litre around 4 p.m. on Tuesday.
Intra-state transport fares have increased, with fears of further hikes if authorities do not intervene, given petrol prices in Delta State now range between N1,250 and N1,300 per litre.
An IPMAN official in the Delta State branch, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said independent marketers should not be blamed for the pump price increase, attributing it instead to OPEC.
The official added that his members have no choice but to sell fuel between N1,200 and N1,400 per litre after purchasing it from privately owned depot agents.
He appealed to the federal government to act quickly so that marketers can access fuel at the government-approved price.
