NPA not aware of compensation paid to Famaye
According to him, he had wanted to fill up his vehicle in preparation for a show in Kumasi. However, a few minutes after leaving the fuel station, his car started jerking, and he continued to drive until it stopped at a roundabout.
The National Petroleum Authority, the statutory Agency regulating the petroleum downstream industry in Ghana has stated that they are not aware of any compensation paid to Ghanaian musician, Fameye, regarding the adulterated fuel incident at a fuel station.
Fameye in a recent interview on TV3 New Day on Tuesday, April 18 disclosed that he had received compensation of GHC 25K from the unnamed fuel station after it filled his car with fuel mixed with water.
According to him, he had wanted to fill up his vehicle in preparation for a show in Kumasi. However, a few minutes after leaving the fuel station, his car started jerking, and he continued to drive until it stopped at a roundabout.
The fuel station involved in the incident has since compensated Fameye with GHC25,000 for the damages caused to his vehicle.
However, in a tweet by the NPA, the authority stated that they had no idea of any compensation paid to Fameye or the identity of the fuel station in relation to the incident.
“The NPA is not aware of any compensation paid to Fameye, till date, Fameye is yet to disclose the fuel station that sold fuel laced with water to him,” it posted on their official Twitter account.
Fameye after expressing his frustrations over the matter in March was asked by individuals to report the matter to the appropriate authorities but went silent until he mentioned the hefty compensation package during his interview.
Although his car has now been fixed, Fameye expressed his disappointment and sadness over the entire situation but has refused to disclose the identity of the fuel station in question.
“The next morning we spoke a bit, and in the evening she sent me another link to the Alpha Hour, but then I didn’t hear from her the whole day or something. She would ignore my messages, but then, when it was 12 a.m., she would send me a link to pray,” he pointed out
He began attending the prayer meetings and gradually got to know Irene better.
Over time, they developed a deep connection based on their shared faith and love for God which led to their marriage a few weeks back.
