Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

The petroleum stakeholders, took the decision at an emergency meeting held in Ibadan on Saturday.

They said their decision was due to “harassment and extortion of members by the police.”

The emergency meeting was attended by Mutiu Bukola, Ibadan depot Chairman and Hammed Hamzat, Chairman, Petroleum Tanker Drivers (PTD) branch of NUPENG.

Also in attendance were Surajudeen Adegoke, Chairman, independent marketers branch of NUPENG, and Olalekan Lawal, IPMAN, Vice Chairman.

They unanimously condemned the operations of the “Inspector-General of Police (IG-P) monitoring team” on the highway which had been “disrupting the lifting of petroleum products” from depot to filling stations in the two states.

Bukola, speaking on behalf of the associations, called for an immediate end to harassment and extortion of members of the associations.

He said they would not open for business until the issues are solved.

According to the IPMAN branch Chairman, no filling station would open and there would be no movement of petroleum tankers in the two states until members of the IG-P monitoring team are removed from the road.

“A tanker driver bringing in a truck load of diesel was arrested at Gbangan junction in Osun in the early hours of Saturday and detained along with his truck.

“The team has assumed the role of Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA) which is the regulator in the sector.

“The NMDPRA officers at the lifting depot had already certified the product, meaning that there was no issue at all, only for the driver and the truck to be detained by the IG-P monitoring team at Gbongbon.

“We hereby call for immediate release of the driver and the truck,” the associations said

In the last few months, he said the police team had “wrongly arrested several tanker drivers and trucks, only to discover that they were innocent after investigations.

“There will be no movement of trucks in and out of Osun and Oyo states, meaning that there will be no loading of petroleum products from depot to filling stations within the two states,” he said.

“The purpose of the IG-P monitoring team was to stop vandalism of pipelines but the team has left its function and is now chasing other things,” he said.

Bukola also condemned what he described as multiple charges that “had been crippling operations” in the petroleum sector in the two states.
