The Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN) has asked its members to shun a proposed strike over alleged extortion by Petroleum Tanker Drivers (PTD).
In a statement issued by the IPMAN National Executive Committee, the association refuted allegations of extortion of N200,000 against the tanker drivers.
Last Wednesday, an IPMAN faction had accused petroleum tanker drivers of imposing an illegal levy.

It alleged that the drivers had exhibited an act of sabotage on petrol distribution by asking IPMAN members to pay N23,000 for each truck loaded at the depot.
IPMAN President, Mr. Debo Ahmed, said the allegation does not hold water and insisted that no such money is being paid.
