The Department of Petroleum Resources (DPR) in Edo State has sealed up five filling stations for under dispensation of fuel and other offences.
It also sealed up gas stations that were built without approval.
Operations Controller Maynard Oriafoh, who led the team, also educated attendants on the use of fire extinguishers.
Petrol stations that were sealed included MRS Petrol Station on Mission Road; Petrol Vadez on New Lagos Road; St Talye Oil and Gas and Oando Petrol Station on Benin-Lagos road.
