The petrol was confiscated from an independent marketer two months ago and is estimated to be worth N4.7 million, EFCC spokesman Wilson Uwajaeren said.
He explained that the product was seized shortly after it was diverted and off-loaded at an independent filing station located at Abasawa village in Gezawa local government area of Kano.
Motorists who bought the petrol expressed satisfaction and happiness.
“Had the commission adopted this kind of measures, people will not suffer from the scarcity of the product in the state. I am calling on the DPR to also borrow a leaf from the EFCC," Aliyu Isa, a commercial driver said.
Another motorist, Muhammad Inuwa Kawo also commended the commission.
"This is the kind of response the public needed from government agencies responsible for handling fuel matters. We need action not talking. I am sure this single action of the commission will send a bad signal to whoever is into the business fuel diversion," he said.
