SSS says NNPC, marketers have 48 hours to end fuel scarcity

The State Security Service has issued a 48-hour ultimatum to the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited and fuel marketers to resolve the ongoing petroleum scarcity in the country.

The secret police, which is also known as the Department of State Service (DSS), said it will “commence operations” around the country if the problem persists after two days.

“We would commence operations across the country if after 48 hours and there are still queues at various filling stations in the country,” Peter Afunanya, spokesperson for the agency, told journalists after a meeting with NNPC officials.
