Rivers State Command of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) has impounded five trucks for conveying illegally refined petroleum products.

Ogar explained that while three of the five trucks were impounded by a Joint Task Force for conveying 142,000 litres of petroleum products without haulage licenses and other required documents, the other two trucks were impounded by the Command’s Antivandal Team.

He said the suspect loaded petroleum products in hidden tanks on the truck and used animal feeds to cover them so as to divert the attention of the security men.

The NSCDC boss said the clampdown on illegal bunkering activities in Rivers has been largely successfully in past three months
