Delta State Petroleum Products Monitoring Committee has cautioned fuel dealers in the state against exploiting citizens by selling at arbitrary prices.
Chairman of the task force and Commissioner for Oil and Gas, Prince Emman Amgbaduba, gave the warning, yesterday, in a statement made available to journalists in Asaba.
He said selling at unapproved prices was prohibited and warned that the task force would swoop on such filling stations soon.
Amgbaduba said the state government was concerned about the hardship caused by fuel and naira scarcity and how it was affecting livelihood of the people across the state and warned that errant filling stations would be compelled to sell at approved prices or risk being shut down.
He urged the petrol marketers to comply fully with the cashless policy by deploying Point of Sale (POS) machines to enable customers buy with ease instead of demanding for cash, which was not available.
