Concerned by untold suffering as well as hazard emanating from the activities of black marketers, especially those who sell petroleum products inside plastic containers/jerry-cans, the Inspector-General of Police, IGP Solomon E. Arase, has directed all Zonal Assistant Inspectors-General of Police and FCT/State Commands Commissioners of Police to arrest anybody found selling petrol and other petroleum products in plastic container.

The IGP, who issued the directives in Abuja on Monday, April 25, said apart from the hardship this act is causing to fuel buyers, it has also rendered some innocent and law abiding citizens homeless due to fire outbreak from jerry-can petrol storage.

He noted that fuel products such as petrol are highly flammable and if not stored and handled properly, can seriously endanger people, property and the environment. While warning fuel attendants at filling stations to desist from selling petrol inside jerry-can/plastic container, the Inspector-General of Police said both the buyers and the sellers of the products will be arrested and prosecuted under the law.

The IGP, while assuring Nigerians of the Police readiness to fulfill its constitutional mandate, appealed for a more cordial relationship between the Police and the public.

Stupid fg.he cant order d prosecution of fulaniherdsmen dat kill innocent souls but 2 prosecute ppl dat are doing business. If u a in hurry wont u buy black market instead of wasting ur whole day on a que abi wetin self.nonsense

Who will buy from them if it is readily available at filling stations ?

Stupid and incompetent fool!! why don't you concentrate on Fulani herdsmen and leave the innocent people alone

Is like u people want the poor masses to die bah?who fire burn since the people dey sell black masses!no light,no fuel now the expensive black market one dey buy una wan block am!sai baba!

I am not surprised...they flex muscles when it is irrelevant

IF there is no fuel scarcity, there won't be any need for black market . Or how do you expect people to fuel their generators and cars

... but shey I fit buy with my generator?

By going to the filling statioon with their generators and cars... Duhhhhh

I think it is a good idea but what about some areas where there is no petrol station.

Trust the police. Even if you are with 4L gallon for your Generator, you must be under arrest. Or you are carrying kerosene, na arrest be that.

this man is a clown,why do we like beating around the bush in this nation.

who loves buying black market,if fuel is available in filling station.

Oga IG,let the FG settle petrol issue,and see things go normal.

mtcheww.

What of generator-users?


#istandwithjustice.

What a joke this country is turning into...



So me I will now be carrying my generator to the filling station abi, izz like something is strung with u people aef

Bad Market for Abuja residents not just Mallams as this fuel is not readily available even at filling stations.


So we should carry our generators to the filling station as well..... This man don chop soo

can we sha buy in polybags?

I said it yesterday that this man is having brain tumour, now, this is a confirmation.
I think he should know that this statement will increase the cost of getting the fuel, because black marketers will now factor in the increased cost of bribery(police and fuel attendants), at the end we pay more.
I thought there was a rumour sometimes ago that this man was on verge of dismissal, wetin happen again, abi na from Benin(abeg make una no vex) dem help am do the thing.

Joke of the Century

Me too?

This is a bloody waste of time. If the product was available at the gas station, I don't think any reasonable person will want to patronise them.

I want to stop food for the Boyz. Diaris God ooo! !

Why not arrest those devilish Fulani herdsmen killing innocent Nigerians in their backyard.

Talk abt misplaced priorities. *hiss*



Leave awon boys make dem hustle joor

is there a valid law that criminalizes buying fuel in galons? or is our law enforcement agents now making laws for us? abeg, who this country never tire?

Heeyhun:
can we sha buy in polybags?

lolz

Good development.

This suppose to be the JOKE OF THE MONTH.

So, we that use fuel to run generators should use our mouths to store fuel or what is this Arase saying? Is it only motorists tht use fuel?

Why is this man not ordering the immediate arrest and prosecution of armed Fulani herdsmen? Are the black marketers worse than those marauding beasts??
Why are we all acting so dumb and behaving as if all we
Indeed, there was a country!

Someone tell me dis Joker is Joking . Wtf!

How dem go buy for generators... Na wah for our own police sef
