The Department of Petroleum Resources (DPR) yesterday shut 20 petrol stations in Imo State for refusing to comply with the new fuel pump price of N87 per litre, as directed by the Minister of Petroleum last week.

Zonal Controller of DPR Innocent Akpamagbo, who led other officials of the agency to monitor the level of compliance by petroleum marketers in Owerri, the Imo State capital, sealed off 20 filling stations still selling at the old price of N97.

This is a welcome development as this will serve as a deterrent to any group or person that wants to involve in such a nefarious act.
