The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps Osun Command, on Friday, said its officers had been deployed to monitor operations of filling stations in the state in order to curb the hoarding of Premium Motor Spirit.
The spokesperson of the command, Adeleke Kehinde, said in a statement that the state commandant, Agboola Sunday, had directed the Anti-Vandals Squad of the corps to embark on routine monitoring of activities of filling stations.
“We are making frantic efforts to ensure that all filling stations involved in hoarding of premium motor spirit (petrol), which has led to scarcity in the state, face the full wrath of the law.
“It is a known fact that there is a shortage of fuel supply in the country, notwithstanding, filling stations should not use the opportunity to bring untold hardship on citizens,” he said
According to him, plain-clothes operatives are on surveillance of all filling stations in the state and the surveillance will continue until sanity returns to the system.
“The commandant appealed to members of the public to cooperate with the Corps by reporting filling stations that are still hoarding the product for necessary action,” Kehinde said.
