NSCDC arrests five, recovers petrol stored in sacks



The Lagos State command of the Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), has arrested two men with boats laden with over 12,000 litres of petrol.

The suspects allegedly put the petrol in plastic bags and stored them in sacks.
The officers also arrested three others with 43 jerry cans of petrol, bought from suspected pipeline vandals.
The spokesman for the command, Mr. Sunday Eromosele, who disclosed the arrest, said the suspects were attempting to smuggle the products to neighbouring countries.
“At about 12PM in Ijora, Lagos, on Monday, based on information we got, we intercepted and arrested two suspected oil pipeline vandals on a boat loaded with petrol which they had stored in nylon bags and these nylon bags were stored in sacks. Each sack contained about 120 litres and we were able to recover over 100 sacks” Mr Eromosele stated.
“Two people were arrested while trying to convey the products and we suspected that they were taking the petrol to a neighbouring country to sell.”
