Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), Akwa Ibom Command, says it has arrested six suspects in connection with criminal conspiracy, illegal dealing in petroleum products and impersonation.<\/p>\n

The NSCDC Commandant in the state, Mr Eluyemi Eluwade, disclosed this at a news briefing in Uyo on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The commandant stated that a Toyota Camry car used for escorting and clearing the way for the truck to pass through checkpoints without scrutiny was also impounded.<\/p>\n

He said that the suspects, who were acting as a joint task force of a security agency, were escorting the truck conveying about 45,000 litres of diesel to an unknown destination without requisite documents.<\/p>\n
