DPR Clamps Down On Petrol Stations Hoarding, Selling At Night

The Department of Petroleum Resources (DPR) in Kano North West Nigeria is set to commence a special operation to raid fuel stations selling at night and above government regulated pump price.

Although the department is yet to identify marketers allegedly diverting the product, officials say they are collaborating with the DSS and other relevant security agencies to carry out night raids as part of efforts to end the crisis.

Kano state and other states of the federation have been struggling to get rid of the current fuel crisis that resulted in an untold hardship to motorists.

From six to eight trucks at the beginning of the crisis, the DPR, Buba Abubakar, said it has received 18 trucks since Friday and more will be delivered in the next coming days.

Although petrol queues have resurfaced in Kano metropolis, however, the DPR monitoring team has returned its offensive on those hoarding, selling at night and above the approved pump price.

For now, the DPR could not disclose the locations identified to have been selling the product either illegally or above the regulated price but the department assured Kano residents that soon enough the crisis of petrol will become a thing of the past.
