Angry petrol tanker drivers on Wednesday blocked the entrance gate of the Olu Obasanjo road office of the Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corp, NSCDC, in Rivers State.
Politics Nigeria learnt that the tanker drivers are demanding the release of four trucks seized by command officials in August last year.
The confiscated trucks had products, including PMS, inside.
One of the protesting drivers, Gift Nmadu, said the trucks had genuine clearance from the PPMC depot.
“The trucks had genuine clearance from the PPMC depot and the drivers concerned showed them all the papers but they went ahead to confiscate the trucks.
“We are here to press home our demand that they should release the trucks,” he said.
Civil Defense spokesman Femi Ayodele said the PMS in the truck was suspicious; hence it was confiscated.
