NNPC warns of legal consequences
The warning comes amid a recent viral video which claimed that the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC) petrol ells substandard petrol with a higher burn rate than the Dangote refinery petrol sold by MRS filling station.
A content creator compared petrol bought from the Dangote Refinery and an NNPC retail outlet.
The content creator claimed in the video that he bought two brand-new generating sets for the experiment.
He also said that he poured the same quantity of petrol from the Dangote Refinery and NNPC fuel, into the two generating sets.
The one running with NNPC fuel finished in 17 minutes, while the one with Dangote petrol lasted about 33 minutes.
He further alleged that despite the NNPC fuel selling higher than at N945 per litre and Dangote’s N925, NNPC fuel has a higher burn rate.
NNPC was forced to deny the allegations in the video and threatened to take legal action against the content creators.
