The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC Ltd) has dismissed a trending video of someone pouring a dark liquid which he claims to be Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) purportedly bought from an NNPC Retail outlet at Keffi Flyover.
The NNPCL in a statement by its spokesman, Olufemi Soneye said the company had carried out spot checks at all its outlets and found the claim to be false.
“The product was not, and could not have been bought from any NNPC Retail outlet as the company does not dispense petroleum products into bottles or jerrycans as displayed in the video,” it said.
The statement stated that NNPC Retail Ltd “does not deal in adulterated products as it adheres to rigorous standards and quality control measures at every stage in its operations to ensure that only high quality, safe, and reliable petroleum products are available at its stations nationwide.
It urged members of the public to discountenance the spurious claims made in the video and be wary of selfish and unpatriotic elements pushing such a narrative as they do not mean well for the country.
