Real drastic measures in Zamfara to deal with insecurity paralyses. The state government is restricting fuel sales to selected domains hoping to cut out bandits and terrorists from access to fuel to power their bikes for evil works.

Governor Bello Matawalle made the announcement in a statement on Friday by his Special Adviser on Public Enlightenment, Media and Communications, Zailani Bappa. “Henceforth, all filling stations in the state are banned from selling fuel except in Gusau and the 14 local Government headquarters,” the statement said. “In addition, no eligible filling station is allowed to sell fuel of more than N10,000 to a single customer.

“Similarly, the sale of fuel in jerry cans is disallowed in all filling stations while roadside purchase (popularly known as black market) is entirely banned.”
