The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, Osun Command, has arrested a Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited truck driver, Afeez Adegbola, for allegedly diverting 10,000 litres of petrol belonging to the company.
According to the News Agency of Nigeria, the state Commandant, Mr Igbalawole Sotiyo, disclosed this while parading the suspect and his two motor boys on Saturday, in Osogbo.
Sotiyo explained that the suspects were arrested on Friday at about 8.21 pm with the NNPCL truck.
The commandant said that the suspect loaded 40,000 litres of petrol at Pinnacle Distribution Depot in Eleko, Lagos State.
He said that the waybill indicated that the product was meant to be delivered at NNPCL Mega station in Osogbo.
Sotiyo said that following a tip-off, officers of the command trailed the truck with registration number AGG 959 XA and discovered that only 30, 000 litres of fuel were delivered at the NNPCL filling station.
“It is an act of sabotage and stealing against the state. They are saboteurs and anti-state.
“NSCDC is using this medium to warn all the stakeholders involved in the distribution of petroleum products nationwide that anyone caught sabotaging the government would be apprehended and prosecuted.
“NSCDC uses this medium to request NNPCL Managers/Supervisors nationwide to work with the NSCDC to ensure saboteurs are brought to justice,” Sotiyo said.
