The Borno Command of Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), today revealed that the three tankers destroyed by three female suicide bombers in Maiduguri on Friday, carried petrol meant for Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) mega stations.
But the petrol was diverted and kept in a private home.
The Commandant of the Corps, Abdullahi Ibrahim, stated this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), on Saturday in Maiduguri.
Ibrahim said that the agency’s surveillance anti-vandal team had uncovered that the petrol was meant for NNPC mega stations but was diverted and hidden in a private home on Damboa Road in Maiduguri.
