The Ebonyi State Command of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), has said that it has arrested two suspects conveying adulterated petroleum products along the Transaharan Highway, popularly known as Ogoja–Abakaliki Road on Sunday morning with a heavy duty vehicle.
The command made this known on Tuesday, while parading the two suspects at their permanent office, along Abakaliki– Enugu Express way.
The State Commandant of the Corps, Engr. Felix Gbolade while addressing journalists, said that the two suspects were intercepted along Ogoja-Abakaliki highway and could not explain the content of the product they were conveying to another state.
Engr. Gbolade further noted that the Anti vandal Department team intercepted the truck loaded with 18,000 litres of (AGO) automotive gas oil also known as diesel on transit from Enugu State to Abakaliki.
He stated that the suspects will be charged to court as soon as investigation is concluded to determine how many offenses they have committed, noting that the command will confirm and authenticate what they conveyed from the NNPC depot, adding that NSCDC has zero tolerance to theft and adulteration of PMS.
The commandant appealed to other security agencies and the general public to cooperate with them, since security is everybody’s business.
