The Ondo State Command of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) has paraded two operators of an alleged illegal filing station in Ore, Odigbo Local Government Area of the state.

Mr Pedro Awili, the State Commandant of NSCDC who paraded the suspects before newsmen, yesterday in Akure, said the suspects were the owners of the station and the manager.

Awili said they were arrested on December 19 through intelligence information received from the Federal Ministry of Industry, Trade and Investment, Akure.

He said the Weights and Measures Department of the ministry found that the filing station contravened government regulations for the establishment of a filing station.

The commandant alleged that the filing station operators also broke a government seal order earlier executed on them.

He warned owners of such filing stations in the state to desist from such act.

According to him, the suspects will be charge to court upon completion of investigation of the case. (NAN)
