“The company lifted 30, 000 litres of PMS from NNPC depot Port Harcourt to KM 3 Ikot Ekpene Road, Ikot Ekong, Abak, but diverted it to an unknown place on January 13.
“We have suspended the filling station until further notice,” Kingsley-Sundaye said.
The operations controller warned petroleum products dealers in the state to desist from sharp practices or face the wrath of the law.
