Shell Operator Responds to Viral Video of Unsafe Behaviour at Nairobi Station

Vivo Energy Kenya, the company that markets and distributes Shell-branded products, has condemned unsafe behaviour captured in a viral video recorded at its Westview service station in Nairobi.

In a statement on Thursday, October 29, the company said the incident occurred on the night of Wednesday, October 28, during a refuelling transaction at the station.

The video circulating on social media showed a customer holding a fuel pump and pouring fuel over the top of his car while the fuel tank remained open.

Vivo Energy Kenya strongly condemned the conduct, warning that such actions posed a serious threat to public safety and could endanger lives.

"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 statement read.

The company reiterated that safety remained its top priority, distancing itself from the behaviour captured in the footage and emphasising that all its service stations were expected to adhere to established safety standards.
