The marine and anti-vandal team of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) in Lagos State yesterday recovered 64 sacks containing petrol in the Isalu Creek around the Badagry-Seme axis of the state.
The recovered product amounts to about 7,600 litres.
A statement by the state command spokesman Seun Abolurin said the team was on aggressive routine patrol and surveillance following intelligence reports of the activities of vandals in the area.
The Divisional Officer (Badagry Division), Chief Superintendent of Corps ( CSC ) Akinyemi Ayodeji, who led the operation, said: “The suspected PMS packed in sacks at the Isalu creek were recovered and evacuated to the Divisional Headquarters at Ibereko.
The Division’s intelligence unit has also begun preliminary investigation into the matter, having informed the headquarters immediately.”
State Commandant Eweka Okoro has also ordered the anti-vandal unit to evacuate the product back to the Lagos State Police Command headquarters in Alausa, Ikeja, for further investigation.
