Angolan national police, on Monday, seized at least 2.455 liters of fuel (petrol and diesel), which were to be sold in the Republic of Namibia.
The quantities of the petroleum products were seized in Namacunde, Angola’s southern province of Cunene.
The seizure occurred in homes and on public roads, as well as fuel pumps, mainly in the border area of Santa Clara municipality of Namacunde.
Chief Superintendent Nicolau Tuvecalela, local director for communication and press for Angolan national police, explained that the fuel was packed in 25 and 200-liter drums destined for Namibia, passing through illegal routes, which constitutes a crime.
Following the anti-smuggling operation, eleven citizens were arrested, including two Namibians.
The province of Cunene shares 460 kilometers of border with Namibia, 340 of which are land and 120 on river.
