The Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority, NMDPRA, says it has sealed 19 illegal Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) and category D cooking gas outlets in Delta.
The Coordinator, NMDPRA in the state, Victor Ohwodiasa disclosed this to newsmen today in Warri.
Mr Ohwodiasa said that the illegal outlets were sealed within the last two weeks in Orerokpe, Ogwashi-Ukwu, as well as Warri and its environs during an operation by the Authority.
It would be recalled that the category D class of LPG operators, are those within localities that refill gas from licenced gas plants for customers.
The NMDPRA coordinator said that the illegal gas outlets were shut over offences ranging from lack of prerequisite approvals to operate such facilities, to unsafe locations.
