How Six Men Were Arrested In Ogun For Illegal Bunkering

Men of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) in Ogun state have arrested six persons for illegal bunkering of petroleum products.



The suspects were arrested around Oke Idofa area along Ilara town, Imeko in Imeko Afon local government area of Ogun state with 33,000 DAF tanker with registration number: Lagos, APP 943 XN, fully loaded with Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) without genuine papers.


According to the NSCDC public relations officer, Alhaji Abdul-Kareem Olanrewaju, the suspects were arrested based on a tip-off from the people concerning the original papers covering the products, the destination and source.


The civil defence officials, who accosted the truck along Imeko area were able to detect some abnormalities in the document.


However, the driver claimed the fuel was loaded from Capital Oil in Apapa, Lagos, whereas, there was nothing to show for that claim in the papers presented.


Apart from this, according to a release from the corps spokesman, the document indicated three different locations, several contradictions in the dates and signature and all these make the whole transactions
look dubious and the genuineness of the source doubtful.


In the light of these ambiguities, the corps commandant, Aboluwoye Akinwande has ordered for full scale investigation on the case to enable the corps unravel the mysteries behind the issue.


Meanwhile, the anti-vandalism team on patrol of critical infrastructure on Friday October 23 accosted two vehicles containing petroleum products in Abeokuta, the state capital.


The vehicles with registration numbers: Lagos-SMK675XK, Peddler tanker fully loaded with petroleum products and one Dodge Ford pickup van with extra tank containing petroleum products with registration
number: Lagos-EKY 399XR.



Upon checking their documents, a lot of discrepancies were detected as it was in the papers of the first arrested truck at Imeko and they were instantly arrested.
