On Sunday, the Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps
(NSCDC), in Maiduguri alerted Borno residents that kerosene mixed with petrol
is currently in circulation in the state.
Mr Ibrahim Abdullahi, Borno NSCDC Commandant 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 said the command would leave no stone unturned to
apprehend whoever was responsible for the act, and urged the public to report
any form of nefarious activities to the law enforcement agencies.
