The State Commandant of Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps Zamfara State Command, Commandant Muhammad Bello Muazu has charged all premium motor spirit dealers in the state not to make life difficult for the good people of Zamfara State by hoarding and escalating the pump prices of the petroleum products.
This was contained in a statement signed by the Command's spokesman, Ikor Oche SC, and made available to newsmen in Gusau, the state capital.
According to the statement, The Commandant gave the charge today at the State Command Headquarters Gusau when he read the riot Acts to all filling stations and petroleum dealers in Zamfara State.
He said, the Corps has observed with dismay the unwarranted artificial scarcity of petroleum products created by petroleum marketers following the announcement by Mr President of the intention to remove subsidy of the petroleum products.
Commandant Muhammad Bello Muazu opined that this is an act of sabotage and attempt to scuttle the smooth take off of this present administration.
He posits that NSCDC is saddled with the responsibility of ensuring a free supply of petroleum products to the right destination without diversion or hoarding, as a result the Corps is ready to unearth any filling station found hoarding or causing artificial scarcity.
Commandant Muhammad Bello Muazu therefore warned all petroleum dealers to desist from making life unbearable for the good people of Zamfara State, reiterating that the Corps will go round to ensure that those found culpable will face the wrath of the law.
