Kerosene Mixed With Petrol In Circulation, NSCDC Alerts

The Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), today in Maiduguri alerted Borno residents that kerosene mixed with petrol is currently in circulation in the state.

Borno NSCDC Commandant, Mr Ibrahim Abdullahi stated this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN).

The commandant said that some patriotic citizens alerted the command on the circulation of the adulterated commodity.


“We have been receiving distress calls from the public. A man from Maduganari reported that his house was almost gutted by fire because he used adulterated kerosene. We are surprised how they mixed kerosene and petrol. We don’t know whether it is another ploy by Boko Haram to cause havoc,’’ he said. He however said the command would leave no stone unturned to apprehend whoever was responsible for the act.
