The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC) has threatened legal action against those behind the alleged unauthorised use of its corporate identity on a truck intercepted by the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) with 2,145 kilogrammes of cannabis concealed in a secret compartment. NNPC commended the NDLEA for intercepting the 20,000-litre fuel tanker in Ondo State but distanced itself from the vehicle, which bore markings associated with the national oil company.

The company added that the logo displayed on the vehicle was inconsistent with its current corporate branding.
