Breaking News: Buhari Orders Probe of Security Officials over Alleged Smuggling of 295 Petroleum Tankers

President Muhammadu Buhari has ordered a thorough investigation into the alleged smuggling of 295 petroleum tankers by security officials. The development comes after a report by the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) revealed that the tankers, valued at over N100 billion, were smuggled out of the country without proper documentation.

According to sources, the investigation will focus on the role of security officials, including the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS), the Nigerian Navy, and the Nigerian Police Force, in the alleged smuggling operation. The probe is expected to uncover the extent of the corruption and identify those responsible for the illegal activities.

The NNPC report, which sparked the investigation, revealed that the tankers were loaded with petroleum products, including Premium Motor Spirit (PMS), Automotive Gas Oil (AGO), and Dual Purpose Kerosene (DPK). The products were allegedly smuggled out of the country through various ports, including the Apapa and Tin Can Island ports in Lagos.

The development has sparked outrage among Nigerians, who are calling for the immediate arrest and prosecution of those involved in the alleged smuggling operation. The incident has also raised concerns about the level of corruption within the security agencies and the need for greater transparency and accountability in the management of public resources.

The investigation is expected to be completed within a short period, and those found guilty of the alleged smuggling will face the full weight of the law.
