The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), Osun Command, has arrested a Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) truck driver, Afeez Adegbola, for allegedly diverting 10,000 litres of petrol belonging to the company.
The state Commandant of the Corps, Igbalawole Sotiyo, who described the act as an economic sabotage and stealing said that the suspects had made a confessional statement that the whole content of 40,000 litres was meant for the NNPCL mega station in Osogbo, but was directed by his company to deliver only 30,000, while the remaining 10,000 should be taken to TEMPOLA, a private filling station, in Ikirun, Ifelodun Local Government area of the state.
Parading the suspect and his two motor boys on Saturday, in Osogbo, the commandant said that the suspect loaded 40,000 litres of petrol at Pinnacle Distribution Depot in Eleko, Lagos State, and the waybill indicated that the product was meant to be delivered at NNPCL Mega station in Osogbo. But a tip-off helped officers of the command trail and discover that only 30, 000 litres of fuel were delivered at the NNPCL filling station.
