The Department of Petroleum Resources has said filling stations selling kerosene above the N50 per litre official price as well as those adjusting their pumps in a bid to defraud customers risk a 90-day closure if caught.
The department said the 90-day ban was aside other fines the operators of such outlets would be made to pay before they would be reopened for business.
The position of the DPR was made known on Wednesday by its spokesperson, Mrs. Dorothy Bassey.
