Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN) has threatened to shut down all filling stations across the country and cut down supplies from tomorrow, should the Federal Government and the Inspector General of Police (IGP) fail to address illegalities by the police. The National Public Relation Officer (PRO) of IPMAN, Yakubu Suleiman, disclosed this yesterday to journalists in Jos, Plateau State. Some police officers had, last Friday, sieged the IPMAN National Secretariat for undisclosed reasons. “It is true that members of IPMAN in many states of Nigeria have met, while others are meeting and communicating to us that they will shut down, from Tuesday. According to the IPMAN PRO, the Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), the Ministry of Petroleum Resources, the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), the National Assembly and the IGP, must act urgently to avert the hardship the action may visit on Nigerians.
