The Department of Petroleum Resources in
Kwara State yesterday dispensed fuel to
motorists and motorcyclists free of charge at
an erring filling station in Ilorin, the state
capital.
.
.
The station, Alkad and Sons Nigeria Ltd,
situated along Olorunsogo, Ilorin, was caught
hoarding a total of 2,300 litres of fuel.
It was learnt that the surveillance team of the
department swooped on the station following
a tip-off by concerned citizens that the
management of the station was hoarding the
commodity.
.
.
Acting on the intelligence, the team led by
Operation Controller of DPR, Mr Salvation
Philip, dug up the station’s stock and
uncovered 2,300 litres of fuel while the
station had allegedly told distraught buyers
that it had exhausted the stock.
.
.
However, a dramatic scene ensued when
motorists and other buyers scrambled for
the commodity as soon as the DPR boss
instructed that the fuel be sold free of charge
in line with ministerial directive.
.
.
It took the intervention of security agents
attached to the agency to control the surging
crowd of cars and motorcycles.
In a similar scene, Nasmut Nigeria Ltd,
located in Otte, Asa local government area of
the state, a suburb of Ilorin, was found to be
hoarding a large volume of petrol, after which
the DPR operation controller ordered that the
commodity be sold to members of the public
free.
.
.
Findings showed that the station was initially
sealed off by the DPR for engaging in sharp
practices including selling above the official
of N87 per litre.
But attendants at the station, allegedly acting
on the instruction of manager, tampered with
the seal and started selling to buyers at
night.
.
.
Speaking with newsmen on the exercise,
DPR operation controller said the action of
the department was in accordance with the
directive of Minister of State for Petroleum.
He stated that the punitive measure would
serve as deterrent to other hoarders that it
was no longer business as usual.
.
.
Philip said the agency was poised to ensure
that the commodity was properly distributed
among commuters.
.
.
“We are out for surveillance because of the
situation on ground, and we want to make
sure that the fuel that comes in is distributed
to commuters. When we got to this place
(Alkad), we dug and discovered that they
(management of the station) were hoarding
2,300 litres of fuel
.
.
“We are giving the fuel free to fellow
Nigerians that need it. It is a critical time; we
have to utilize what is available. This is the
second station so far we caught hoarding,
and the ministerial directive is that
whichever station that is caught hoarding,
fuel should be given free to the citizens. We
want to use this to serve a very strong
warning to all marketers that anybody caught
hoarding, diverting or flouting petroleum laws
and regulations, that infractions would be
meted with the full wrath of the law. Let this
serve as a deterrent to all intending hoarders
of petroleum products.”
