It was gathered that concerted effort to make him see reasons fell on deaf ears.

“General Dambazau’s action was illegal and a distant pole from the powers conferred on
Consumer Protection Council.

“General Dambazau actions was an attempt to create scarcity in Kano where there was none, and we view this singular act as economics sabotage”, media sources quoted an impeccable source at the Nigeria’s secret police.

The DSS source revealed further that section 48 of the Nigeria Constitution clearly abhors interference with the Mainstream or Downstream Petroleum Operations by any Government Ministry, Department or Agency, exercising power or function or taking any action impacting on the sector, without first consulting with relevant authority.
