The Senior Special Assistant on Special Duties to the Head of Team of the Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN), Comrade Henschel Nwozuzu has raised alarm over an allegation of threat to his life and that of his family members by some oil marketers who operate Imo State.
The Petitioner, who made available a copy of the petition he sent to the office of the National Security Adviser to the President, the Group Managing Director of NNPCL, the Inspector General of Police and the Director General of DSS also accused the oil marketers of collaborating with some NNPCL outlet officials of diversion of products to retail outlets, major and independent marketers.
He added that the essence of NNPCL retail outlets having a greater share in the downstream is to ameliorate the high-handedness/greed of some independent marketers, regretting that such move by the federal government had been eroded because the price of premium motor spirit (PMS) continues to go high in the State.
According to him, products loaded for branded NNPCL outlets are often diverted to independent Marketer's outlets, adding that such ugly trend is mostly prevalent in Imo State where the independent marketers sell PMS at N680 per litre.
He cited instances where NNPCL branded trucks divert products to outlets owned by independent marketers, adding that his team had severally reported the incidents to the security agencies who most times do not carry out diligent investigations or coarsed to abandon the investigation half way.
Nwozuzu, however, urged the security agencies to investigate his allegation and mandate the parties accused to sign an undertaking of no harm to his life and that of his family members.
