about 3pm.
In a statement made available to our Correspondent, the State Commandant disclosed that “a break-down of the vehicles and the content shows that the tanker with registration number KAF 662 ZA contains 30,000 litres, DKA 515 ZP is with 40,000 litres and the third one with registration number BAU 262 XR is containing 45,000 litres which are suspected to have been
diverted.
