The Commandant of the Corps, Mr Joachin Okafor, stated this while playing host to the state Commissioner for Communication Technology and Digital Economy, Suleiman Isah, in Minna.

Okafor stated that anyone caught engaging in such activities would be prosecuted and brought before the court to serve as a deterrent to others in the state.

Expressing concern over the escalating trend, he decried an increase in the sale of adulterated Petroleum Motor Spirit (PMS) at some filling stations in the state, urging perpetrators to change their behavior.
