Chairman of The Task Force on Distribution of Petroleum Products in Kano State, has said that marketers caught diverting petroleum products will be fined N150 per liter of the diverted products.
Bako while addressing a news conference in Kano on Sunday said that the measure was necessary to contain the persistent scarcity of fuel in the state.
“The decision followed series of warnings by the Task Force to oil marketers in the state to desist from sharp practices and illegal increases in the pump price of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS),” he said.
He declared that the Task Force had confiscated eight drums and 50 Jerry cans of petrol and fined the petrol stations involved N4.2 million since its inauguration last week.
To ensure that all products reached the designated petrol stations, he urged the citizenry to report suspicious activities of marketers to the task force.
