and a bakery at Sango, llorin. The security agents in company of DPR
forced some shops open where petrol is kept. Mr Philips Salvation, the
Operation Controller of DPR in Kwara, said that the fight against black
market spots of petrol in the state would continue. “We cannot have two
parallel markets, one that is legitimate and the other illegitimate and
the DPR must ensure that petroleum law and guidelines are followed,’’ he
said.
Salvation described the sales of petrol in surface tanks as injurious
to human beings, engines as such product could be adulterated. He
appealed to those interested in oil and gas business to follow the
guidelines by obtaining licence from the department. He said the five
persons arrested would assist the DPR to ascertain the source of the
product. NAN recalled that about a week ago petrol was sold in gallons
in various major streets in llorin for between N800 and N1000 to
