In what will come across as a really startling development, a woman has reportedly bitten the breast of another woman during a fight at a petrol station in Delta State, Daily Post reports.
The women were reportedly fighting over positions in the fuel queue.
Both women are said to be black market fuel dealers in Warri, struggling for the product to sell, DAILY POST can report.
It took the intervention of other customers at the filling station to separate the women who were engaged in a fisticuff.
One of the women who was bitten on the breast was left bleeding profusely, even after the fight had been separated.
Daily Post Correspondent who went around town to monitor the situation at fuel stations reported that most vendors in Warri and environ were still selling the product at N500 per litre.
