“It is hazardous to transport fuel or store it in jerry cans,” he said.

Jankara said that selling large quantity of PMS in jerry cans meant diversion or smuggling the product to an unknown destination “which is against the law.”

He explained that the department must be notified and issue permit before such quantity of fuel would be sold in jerry cans in order to ensure safety and stop diversion and smuggling of the product.

The controller said that investigations were ongoing to bring the earring marketers to book to serve as deterrent to others.

“Any marketer found guilty will be made to face the law; that I assure you,’’ he said.

He assured that the Federal Government would continue to make the PMS available to the public stressing that there was no need for panic buying or hoarding.(NAN)
