The Department of Petroleum Resources (DPR) in Niger State has disclosed that it uncovered how some licensed marketers have been supplying petroleum products to illegal outlets and then divert them.

It, therefore, warned that those involved in the act should desist or be classified as economic saboteurs with appropriate sanctions meted out to them in accordance with the law.

DPR Controller of Operations in Minna, Abdullahi Isah stated this yesterday at its fourth annual general meeting.

“Let no one be deceived, DPR maintains its stand on the premise that ignorance of the law is not an excuse. We will relentlessly perform our regulatory responsibilities as mandated by law,” he said.
