A roadside petrol dealer has set ablaze a student of Akwa Ibom State University (AKSU) identified as Enwongo Akpan after a minor argument The Trumpet gathered.

It was gathered that the victim who is a 200-level student in the Department of Philosophy at AKSU allegedly bought N500 petrol from the roadside petrol dealer which failed to start his generator after he poured it into the tank.

Not satisfied with the quality of the product, the victim approached the roadside petrol dealer for explanation believing that the petrol was adulterated which led to an argument.

Akpan added that the victim was rescued by villagers and students who alerted the Vice-Chancellor of the University Prof Nse Essien and he was rushed to Mercy Hospital in Abak for immediate treatment.
