Nigerians, Beware of Petroleum Products mixed with water
At a time when agitations and rallying cry for referendum of peace
At a time when people of positive minds are on a life–changing journeys
At a time when the word “originality” becomes the order and hash tags of the day_
Devilish acts of magnanimous destructive acts filled the heart of some, highly desperate for “Zeros” in Naira…
A highly perpetrating act of violence which has hurt progress and many lives shut down.
A heart-broken heart engineered with highest-level of platform
So bold to sell “murdering utensils” with highly designed “placecards”
As NPBS (Nigeria Police Broadcasting Service) top aims is to enlighten citizens about their immediate environment, enrich lives of living through effective information, circulation of undiluted news and providing effective policing across Nigeria and beyond, some evil-doers had their tails caught in our trap
The event that unfolds this “devilish act” was tagged “Selling of Petroleum Products mixed with water” on the 18th June 2018, exactly 4:00pm on a sunny afternoon. 6 NPBS official Vehicles were coming from a productive assignments to better lives of Nigerians, branched and parked to refill with high hopes of getting the best out of the fuel bought, needlessly worried about the “adjusted fuel-pump” nor the “un-tidy environment” zoomed off to continue the proposed journey. Few minutes later, the cars jerked like a concussed child.
As mechanically advised, the bonnets were opened only to see water floating and running through the engines, which resulted into turning back to the filling station for an interrogation. As our officials interrogated the filling stations officials, the denied and even swear blatantly for hours. Our officials blocked other cars from entering so as to help stop others being victim.
One could imagine large number of cars who have entered this filling station to get “fuel” and crying right now on how to get their automobile repaired with their hard earned money.
To everyone’s surprise and amazements, NPBS got the root of the cause, water were seen in their tanks which is being sold to Nigerians. It was then concluded that, they had been selling water with petrol just for the multiple gains.

How do you know?
A good indicator is a sudden change in the performance of your vehicle. You try to accelerate and the car hesitates or sputters consistently. You try to get up to highway speeds and the car just doesn’t want to cooperate. Or maybe the vehicle sputters and then revs and jolts to higher speeds when it shouldn’t.
To help stop this reckless endangerment to your automobiles, kindly report such cases on our website.
That’s what we are here for – effective policing, securing lives and properties, protecting rights of citizens. You and I know such acts are rampant amongst us, but we can stop it to have a better Nigeria.
Nigerians beware.

The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has put Deposit Money Banks (DMBs) on notice that it will stop selling forex to them by the end of 2022. CBN Governor Godwin Emefiele made this known in Abuja on Thursday at the end of the Bankers’ Committee Meeting where he also introduced the RT200 Programme.
Emefiele said the time had come for the banks to go out there and source for forex by funding entrepreneurs with ideas. The CBN, Emefiele said, will support the banks by granting rebates and other support until the banks find their feet in sourcing their forex by themselves.
He also disclosed that the apex bank’s policies and measures have led to a significant improvement in diaspora inflow from an average of US$6 million per week in December 2020 to an average of over US$100 million per week by January 2022. He added that the CBN would be reviewing these intervention programmes going forward to ensure that they continue to achieve the desired results.
He said international bodies, including some embassies and donor agencies, have been complicit in illegal forex transactions that have hindered the flow of foreign exchange into the country.
