Residents of Kano under the aegis of the Kano Patriotic Forum have issued threats to embark on mass protest against Independent Petroleum Marketers in the state, which they accused of hoarding the product.
The fuel scarcity in the city has resulted in untold hardships to the people as commodity prices have skyrocketed in the city. Price monitored include; a bag of rice which sells for N10,000; cooking oil which sells for N1,400 as against N1,000 it was earlier sold.
The decision of the people to embark on the protest was disclosed by the Chairman of the KPF, Danjuma NaAllah, who alleged that the IPMAN members were exploiting the situation and making unhealthy profits.
The government has taken several measures to arrest the fuel scarcity situation in the state including rationing products and preventing motorists from purchasing fuel above N5000
