Amid the fresh fuel scarcity in Nigeria, the Osun State Government has threatened to seal off any filling station hoarding Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) known as petrol.

Governor Ademola Adeleke, in a statement by his Spokesman, Olawale Rasheed, said any fuel station found guilty of hoarding fuel shall be sealed off and operators prosecuted for crime of economic sabotage.

The fresh fuel scarcity in the country followed the inaugural pronouncement by Nigeria’s new President, Bola Tinubu, who said yesterday that the era of subsidy payment on fuel has ended.

In similar development, the Kwara State Governor Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq, has warned oil marketers to avoid imposing needless hardship on the citizens through the creation of artificial fuel scarcity in the state and beyond.

The Governor issued the warning in a statement signed by his Chief Press Secretary Rafiu Ajakaye.

On his part, the Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, said nothing has changed in the pronouncement of President Tinubu to warrant any form of scarcity.
