The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited, NNPCL, has threatened to take legal action over a viral video in which a reviewer claimed its petrol does not last long in vehicles.
NNPC spokesperson Olufemi Soneye issued the threat in a statement on Saturday.
The state-owned oil firm dismissed claims made in the viral video that its product doesn’t last when compared with Dangote Refinery’s petrol.
NNPC described the originators of the viral video as economic saboteurs who are desperate to misinform the public.
“This misleading video represents yet another desperate attempt by economic saboteurs to misinform the public and tarnish NNPC Ltd.’s reputation.
“We will not tolerate deliberate misinformation designed to undermine our operations and mislead Nigerians.
“Henceforth, NNPC Ltd will take firm legal action against individuals or groups who intentionally spread falsehoods about our brand and operations.
“Those engaged in such malicious activities will be held fully accountable under the law,” the statement reads.
NNPCL added that most PMS in its Lagos retail outlets are sourced from Dangote Refinery.
Media Talk Africa recalls a viral video of a reviewer claiming that NNPCL petrol products don’t last long as Dangote Refinery went viral on the social media.
