The Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria and the owners of filling stations in Rivers State have alleged that the Federal Government is threatening to seal filling stations in the state over failure to obey its directive to increase the pump price of fuel.
The groups in a statement said there have been directives by the government to increase the pump price of petrol but, have refused to heed to the calls.
They threatened to shut down operations in the state by Monday or Tuesday if the government attempts to seal off one station.
