The Nigerian government has begun a clampdown on petrol black marketers.
Petrol black marketers (or fuel hawkers) are people cashing in on the fuel scarcity situation in Nigeria. They often buy petrol at stations and then sell at exorbitant prices to motorists and others. They have been blamed oftentimes for fueling the petrol scarcity in the nation.
Nemesis is however about to catch up with them.
According to Vanguard, the Commandant General of Nigeria Security & Civil Defence Corps ( NSCDC) Alhaji Abdullahi Gana Muhammadu has ordered a 24-hour surveillance of petrol stations by the Officers of the corps.
NSCDC operatives would therefore be assigned to petrol stations across the country in order to carry out the directive.
Gana gave this order immediately after he met with the Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Mr. Ibe Kachikwu at NNPC towers Abuja on Thursday, he handed down the order as the widespread fuel scarcity in the country continues to bite hard.
Government also outlawed selling of petrol on roadsides and directed the NSCDC official to arrest and prosecute offenders.
