The Kano State Government has warned owners of filling stations who already or are planning to hoard petrol not to do so or they would face the wrath of the law.
The State Commissioner for Commerce, Industry, Cooperatives and Tourism, Dr Damburam Nuhu, gave the warning in a statement signed by the ministry’s Public Relations Officer, Malam Aliyu Yusuf.
The statement said that the government had observed that some stations had decided not to sell fuel since Sunday, thereby creating panic buying by consumers in the state despite the fact that most of the stations have enough petrol to sell.
The statement also urged the people not to panic, adding that a monitoring team would commence inspection of the filling stations, and any station found hoarding the product would face the wrath of the law.
