Shell condemns motorist filmed spraying fuel on car in viral clip, takes action

• Vivo Energy Kenya condemned a male recorded giving fuel around a parked automobile at its Westview filling station in Nairobi
• A TikTok video appearing to reveal the stunt, captioned’Roads are dirty out here’, flowed extensively on social networks after the October 28 event
• The station’s seller reported the matter to authorities for examination as Vivo Energy stated it was examining the situations

Vivo Energy Kenya, the supplier of Shell-branded fuels and lubes in the nation, has actually openly condemned a male captured on electronic camera misusing a fuel pump nozzle at one of its Nairobi filling stations.

The business released a declaration on Thursday, October 29, verifying it knew video flowing online that revealed risky conduct at its Westview filling station the previous night.

What the Video Showed

The clip, shared on TikTok, appears to reveal a guy giving fuel around a parked automobile on the forecourt while a buddy watches.

A caption reading “Roads are dusty out here” recommends the act was framed as a joke about cleaning up the vehicle instead of an authentic refuelling activity.

Vivo Energy, explaining the conduct in unambiguous terms, called out the vehicle driver and his business for partaking in a hazardous stunt.

“We strongly condemn this act of irresponsible, reckless and negligent conduct. Such behaviour poses a serious risk to public safety and endangers peoples’ lives,” the business stated in its declaration.

Vivo Energy’s Response

The business worried that the conduct displayed in the video footage falls well listed below the requirements anticipated throughout its Shell-branded station network in Kenya, mentioning that security stays its primary concern.

Vivo Energy validated that the Westview station’s merchant had actually currently reported the event to the pertinent authorities for examination and more action.

The company included that it was examining the complete situations surrounding the occasion and would be strengthening security procedures to guarantee its requirements were regularly maintained.

“We are also reinforcing safety requirements to help ensure our standards are constantly maintained,” the declaration checked out.

The business extended its gratitude to members of the general public who flagged the video and raised security issues, declaring its dedication to keeping extensive security practices throughout all its outlets.

The declaration did not recognize the specific seen in the video footage, divulge what particular action the authorities meant to take, or show whether any station personnel had actually been suspended in connection with the occurrence.
