The Quick Reinforcement Force (QRF) of 251 Battalion, 7 Div Gar on routine checks have arrested a truck loaded with 25 jerry cans of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) and other goods at Molai check point on the outskirts of Maiduguri on Tuesday Morning.

Colonel Usman stated that the driver of the vehicle, Muhammadu Adamu, claimed ignorance of the contents of the vehicle and called the owner of the goods, Tijjani Gambo to explain.
Gambo claimed to be a mere trader supplying goods to customers in Damboa based on demand.
However, preliminary investigation revealed that he has been sending PMS and other goods through the same route at regular intervals without an identifiable corresponding recipient in Damboa as alleged.
