Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), has arrested eight tanker drivers for allegedly lifting and transporting suspected illegally refined diesel out of Rivers.<\/p>\n

The NSCDC Commandant in Rivers, Abu Tambuwal said this in a statement issued by the command\u2019s spokesman, DSC Olufemi Ayodele on Friday in Port Harcourt.<\/p>\n

Tambuwal said the suspects used forged documents to distribute adulterated petroleum products to motorists across the country before they were apprehended.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe trucks were intercepted while on transit out of Rivers with petroleum products suspected to be illegally refined Automotive Gas Oil (diesel).<\/p>\n

\u201cThe suspects and their trucks were impounded along Mbiama, a border town between Bayelsa and Delta states.<\/p>\n

\u201cPreliminary investigation reveals the suspects presented fake documents that enabled them to beat several security checkpoints along the road.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey succeeded until they were apprehended by the Anti-vandal Squad of NSCDC Rivers Command,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Tambuwal said the arrests and seizures were made possible following a tip-off that led to the trailing of the suspects and trucks for over three weeks.<\/p>\n

He alleged that the suspects used an already executed Court Auction Order to move trucks loaded with illegally refined petroleum products.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will not relent in our commitment to rid the state of all acts of illegal dealings in petroleum products, including oil theft and illegal oil bunkering.<\/p>\n

\u201cOperatives have been deployed across all 23 Local Government Areas of the state, and so, it will no longer be business as usual,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
