Make calls at filling stations, go to jail — Police
The police have said that making phone calls at
filling stations is a criminal offence which could land the offender in jail.
The Force Public Relations Officer, Jimoh Moshood,
stated that an offender could be prosecuted and jailed for attempted arson.
He noted that police officers have the authority
to arrest anyone found making phone calls or smoking at filling stations.
He described the filling station as a public
facility where motorists cannot act as they like on account of the inflammable
products like petrol and other petroleum products being dispensed there.
Moshood, therefore, cautioned the public against
violating the safety rules forbidding smoking and phone calls at filling
stations.
He said, “Making phone calls or smoking at filling
stations is a criminal offence and the police, of course, could arrest anyone
violating the safety rules put in place to safeguard life and property at the
filling stations.”
