Lagos residents may experience fuel scarcity from this week as the Nigerian Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas (NUPENG) has instructed tanker drivers in Lagos zone to stop loading from Tuesday and Wednesday.
The union’s National Chairman, Comrades S. A. Oladiti and National Secretary, Sunday Ochibejivwie, in a statement, stated its members may embark on strike in Lagos from this week.
The strike, they explained, is to protest the unwarranted killing of one of their members, Comrade Olalekan Lawal, by men of Operation Mesa in Lagos last April.
The union said, failure of the constituted authority to heed to its demands and request for compensation, unabated excesses of military men at check points and demands for samples of products by security operatives from ten to twenty litres at various points are parts of its grouse.
NUPENG vowed to reverse the trend, stating that drums are lost in the process.
The union also directed its members nationwide to carry green leaves in solidarity and protest the slain tanker driver from last Thursday. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

Haba, these criminals again? Don't they think of other ways of engaging the authorities other than punishing innocent Nigerians through unwarranted strikes? Who will suffer this new madness, if not the masses that ought to sympathise with them? This NUPENG should be disbanded. They are criminal terrorists!
