Security operatives and the Minister of Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike have uncovered an illegal oil refining warehouse in Mabushi, Abuja.
Mukhtar Galadima, the Director of the Department of Development Control, Federal Capital Territory Administration, made this known after a clamp-down exercise on Thursday.
Galadima disclosed that about three to four plots of land designated for commercial purposes have been converted to an area where oil and diesel are being adulterated and circulated to other parts of the FTC.
According to him: “During the continuation of our city sanitation exercise in Mabushi opposite the Mobil filling station on Ahmadu Way, we discovered an illegal refining site where oil and diesel are being adulterated; we have done the needful by moving the items to Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps.
“From what we have seen so far, about three or four plots of land designated for commercial purposes have been converted to unapproved activities, and we believe the owners are fully aware there will be consequences.
“We are going to look at the provision of the law and make necessary recommendations to the FCT Administration,”
