The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps on Sunday in Maiduguri, Borno State, alerted residents to the menace of kerosene mixed with petrol, which was in circulation in the state.
The Borno State NSCDC Commandant, Mr. Ibrahim Abdullahi, who spoke in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria, said some residents alerted the command to the circulation of the adulterated commodity.
He said, “We have been receiving distress calls from the public.
“A man from Maduganari reported that his house was almost gutted by fire because he used the adulterated kerosene.
“We are surprised at how they mixed kerosene and petrol. We don’t know whether it is another ploy by Boko Haram to wreak havoc.”
He said the command would leave no stone unturned to apprehend whoever was responsible for the act.
He urged members of the public to report any nefarious activities in their areas to law enforcement agents.
