Head of Operations in Eket, Mr. Olusegun Dabor, who disclosed this to newsmen during a routine inspection of fuel stations in Uyo yesterday, said some of the fuel stations were also sealed for under-dispensing of petroleum products.

Dabor said: “DPR has sealed 46 fuel stations in December. Of this number, 30 were sealed for operating without license and 16 for under-dispensing their products.

“The names of the defaulters would be given to the sister-agencies for prosecution.

“For those filling stations under-dispensing, we have to come back and check if their pumps are working well before we can unseal them.”
