Diesel diversion: NMDPRA takes custody of five tankers seized by Customs

The NMDPRA has taken custody of five tankers seized by the Nigeria Customs Service over the alleged diversion of diesel, also known as AGO. Operation Whirlwind spokesperson Hussaini Abdullahi said the trucks were intercepted at about 11 p.m. on July 6 following credible intelligence. Preliminary findings pointed to possible irregularities and regulatory violations, prompting the handover to the NMDPRA for further investigation and administrative action. The transfer followed a directive from Comptroller-General of Customs Bashir Adeniyi.
