Nigeria: Boko Haram fear causes gas stations shutdown
All fuel stations in Babangida have been closed by the Joint Task Force (JTF) in Tarmuwa Local Government Area of Yobe State in Nigeria to prevent terrorist group Boko Haram from getting hold of petroleum products, reports Vanguard.
Terrorists have occasionally attacked the area.
Tight security brought heavy traffic to Babangida as JTF forces conducted intensive checking searching for fuel in most of the vehicles. Around 10 individuals with more than 20 litres of petroleum were arrested.
House-to-house search was also enforced.
