Soldiers take over Capital Oil, load drums with fuel

CEO of Capital Oil, Ifeanyi Ubah made an announcement on Sunday that his company would release 13 million liters of fuel to help out with the fuel scarcity situation in the country since then officials of the Nigerian Army have taken over the Ojodu Berger outlet of Capital Oil, buying petroleum products in drums, after they had scared away thousands of prospective consumers.

The armed personnel came pretending to maintain peace and order, but they soon abandoned their primary responsibility and started buying fuel in drums.

They shoved, maltreated and chased off those who were on queue to tend to themselves.

The military officials who were fully dressed had taken over the only two pumps that dispensed the Premium Motor Spirit.

There was an unregistered white Isuzu truck the soldiers had been using for the ‘deal’ and this truck had visited the filling station for the fourth time and each time bought fuel.

The fourth truck was loaded at 8:50pm on Monday night.

The vehicle, on each visit, left with at least 14 drums and dozens of gallons filled with fuel.

Helpless consumers, some of who slept at the filling station, suspected the soldiers were buying fuel to sell to sell in Lagos black market.

Those who complained about what was going on were severely beaten

By 9pm on Monday, not more than a hundred cars left the station with fuel.

I stayed away from there cos I knew this was bound to happen. Soldiers have been parading fuel stations beating people and creating chaos. At the same time buying fuel. Are they above the law?

I really don't know when the Nigerian army will come to the understanding that we're no longer in the military regime, this is democracy and they should respect rule of law.

They are notorious for bullying their way to whatever they want, and to think they were meant to maintain law and order.

Exactly wat happened in d station I went to buy fuel. Some police men came in, chased and scared everybody away from the station. They even ordered some cars to drive out without buying fuel so dat they can bring in their vehicle in from the exit. They came in, threw all the gallons away, flogged some people. They even flogged an old man enough to father them. Finished buying their fuel (loads of drums). They never assisted in anyway to help things out. After which they left and immediately, the station closed. People who came since morning were unable to buy. Even after paying #200 for each gallon. This country is in a big mess.

**Society has placed a benchmark on the appropriate age for singles to get married. Especially women. You have young girls of 24/25 panicking about marriage . There is no place it is carved on stone that you have to get married by a certain age. There are no fixed set of rules to dating, courtship and marriage. And I don't think there should ever be. The only rule I would endorse is get out if domestic violence is involved.......click my name to read more
